Direct Free Kick

By , About.com Guide

Definition:

A kick awarded to a player after being fouled by the opposition. The player kicks a stationary ball, with opposing players forced to stand 10 yards away from him. Unlike an indirect free kick, a goal may be scored directly against the opposing side without the ball having first touched another player.
