I never understood the taking back of a goal and penalizing the defending team makes no sense.
Basketball has the comtinuation after the foul. Hockey has a delayed penalty Soccer plays advantage football throws the flag and then have option of taking play of penalty
Women's lax has advantage as well ... just not with regard to shooting space. You will often see a ref raise their flag and wait for the outcome of the play before calling the foul. You will also see "play on" motioned when the offense has the "advantage". The shooting space call is the only automatic stoppage of play.
The shooting space is the one I was referencing since it is usually the one that results in taking a goal off the scoreboard. Most times the whistle is blown when the ball is already in the cage!
The reality is the official is looking the other way by not carding the shooter for a dangerous shot for shooting when a defender is in shooting space. So the goal shouldn't count and the shooter gets a yellow
w Saw this exact call today, and it was correct. Defender illegally in shooting space, girl fired shot and scored. Ref blew whistle, double foul. No goal was recorded, the shooter got the yellow and they had a jump ball to resume play due to the double foul.
