- Goalkeepers at the women’s World Cup have been treated like “guinea pigs” with new rules on penalty kicks and its strict implementation thanks to the Video Assistant Referee , Chelsea Women manager Emma Hayes said.
The law adds that if a goalkeeper commits an offence, the kick must be retaken and the keeper cautioned but the IFAB relaxed its rules on bookings during shootouts following a request from global governing body FIFA. “The repeated cases of penalties being retaken because of goalkeepers coming fractionally off their line is not fair to anyone,” Hayes added.
