Question: 1 / 400

If a goal is scored in the last ten seconds of the first half after the game clock indicates the end of the half, what should the referee do?

Allow the goal to stand

Disallow the goal

In the scenario where a goal is scored after the game clock indicates the end of the first half, the proper action for the referee is to disallow the goal. According to NCAA soccer rules, once the game clock expires, the half is considered over, regardless of the event occurring at that moment. The objective of the game clock is to signify the end of play, and any goal scored after this time would not count.

This rule is in place to ensure that all players and coaches are clear about the timing of the match, as allowing goals after the official end time could lead to confusion and disputes regarding fair play. Players are expected to cease play once the signal for the end of the half is given, and thus no subsequent actions, like a goal, are valid.
