Why was the second goal of Navbahor not counted? Was the judge wrong? - Comment of the Judges' Center

The press service of the Center of Football Referees of Uzbekistan commented on the missed goal of the guests in the match of the 19th round of the Super League “Andijan" - “Navbahor".

In the 59th minute, the visitors hit the opponent's goal. Initially, the chief referee of the match, Abdurashid Khudaibergenov, scored a goal, but after contacting the Var, he changed his decision, and the goal was not counted. In this situation, the referee made a decision, concluding that the player who is out of the game gave permission to the goalkeeper.

Section 11, Paragraph 2 of the IFAB Football Rules Manual prepared by FIFA for the 2023-24 season is reserved for non-playing situations, which states that a goal scored must be canceled if the opponent's striker is out of play and does not touch the ball, interferes with the goalkeeper or causes his distraction. That is, in this situation, Abdurashid Khudaibergenov acted in accordance with the requirements of FIFA and left no room for any discussions.
