Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If the defensive team kicks it out, play is restarted with a corner kick. The goal kick is taken from anywhere inside the “goal area box”. It can be taken by any player. The ball must leave the “Penalty Area” before anyone can touch the ball.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ball must be stationary and on the ground within the kicking team’s goal area (also known as the six-yard box). All opposing players must be outside the penalty area until the ball is in play.

Detailed explanation-3: -In association football, an own goal occurs when a player causes the ball to go into their own team’s goal, resulting in a goal being scored for the opposition. Defenders often “turn behind” dangerous balls into the penalty area, particularly crosses, by kicking or heading the ball out of play behind their goal-line.

Detailed explanation-4: -A goal kick is a method of restarting play after the ball has left the field by crossing the goal line without a goal being scored. The referee will award the defending team a goal kick if the ball was last touched by an opposition player. A player must take the goal kick from within the goal area.
