It is, what it is! And this all is for HS rules below. A little different for USSF. And what i mean different is the restarts.

explain a little more.
Were both players standing inside the Penalty area when the ball was touched? If yes, this is Considered to be encroachment.

Or was the ball touched forward and an attacking player ran from outside the area and attempted to kick it into the goal? If yes, this is a legal play on the ball.

If an attacking player infringes as in the first instance, keeper saves and holds ball play continues with keeper in possession. If keeper deflects the ball back in play or out over the goal line, restart is IFK at the spot of the infraction. If the ball goes out over the goal line with no other player touching, goal kick.

If the ball had entered the goal, it is to be retaken. yep.

Hope this helps.
