I’ve looked at the rules on the IFAB site, and although it’s difficult to get a definitive answer, from what I can see it’s only where a direct free kick is conceded can it also be deemed a DOGSO (denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity).
Then for the penalty, the double jeopardy rule applies, the award of a penalty is deemed sufficient punishment unless there was no attempt to play the ball - eg. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.
I knew it wasnt a red for the pen although they normally book them. I just wasnt sure on the goal kick one as its such a strange issue but it feels as though it should be some sort of punishment on top of the indirect free kick. Its blatant foul play to stop Dallas getting the ball when the keeper isnt allowed to touch it again and there isnt another County player anywhere near that could influence play after that so its effectively stopping a one on one with the keeper. If it was a defender pulling them down as they run through to a one on one with the keeper then you would think the ref is going to show a red card.
As mentioned in another post of mine a local ref has told my brother the red card rule for this actual issue doesnt come in until next season however as someone else mentions there is a post on twitter with a link to a video of the same incident in an Italian womens league game where the ref then sends the keeper off.
