DOGSO: By Free Kick Foul
In order for a player to be disqualified for denying an obvious
goal-scoring opportunity by an offense punishable by a free
kick or penalty kick, four elements must be present.
The “4 D’s”
•
•
•
•
Number of Defenders
Distance to Goal
Distance to Ball
Direction of Play
If any of these “4 D’s” are missing,
there cannot be a disqualification for DOGSO.
Rule 12 – Fouls and Misconduct
DOGSO: 4 D Definitions
1) Number of Defenders -- not more than one other defender (usually
the GK) between the foul and the goal, not counting the defender
committing the foul
2)
Distance to goal -- the closer the foul is to the goal, the more likely
it is an “obvious” goal scoring opportunity
3)
Distance to ball -- the attacker must have been close enough to
the ball at the time of the foul to have continued playing the ball
4)
Direction of play -- the attacker must have been moving toward
the goal (not the goal line) at the time the foul was committed.

Rule 12 – Fouls and Misconduct
Misconduct – DOGSO
Application of Advantage
Invoking advantage during DOGSO can be very difficult
and the referee should do so cautiously
Circumstances will vary from one situation to another and
there is no single decision or criteria that would be
universally correct
Referees must use discretion and make the decision based
on the level of play, game circumstances and of course,
common sense.
Rule 12 – Fouls and Misconduct
Misconduct – DOGSO by Free Kick Foul
Application of Advantage
DOGSO by free kick foul is the denying of the
OPPORTUNITY to score a goal
“Advantage”, if invoked, is realized when the offended
team’s or player’s, “opportunity” to score a goal continues
in spite of the foul…the initial “play” continues
The team fouled may realize the “advantage” without
scoring a goal
For these reasons, the referee must be very careful in the
application of advantage in DOGSO situations, especially if
the foul occurs in the penalty area
