What is the restart if the goalkeeper parries the ball, picks it up, and then punts it?

When a goalkeeper parries the ball and then picks it up before punting it, a specific violation occurs regarding the goalkeeper's handling of the ball. If the goalkeeper has released the ball after a save (such as a parry) and then uses their hands to pick it up again while still inside the penalty area, this action is considered an infringement of the Laws of the Game.

According to the Laws of the Game, a goalkeeper is not allowed to handle the ball after it has been intentionally played to them by a teammate, and if they do so from a parry, it constitutes a violation. The restart for this infraction is an indirect free kick awarded to the opposing team from the location where the goalkeeper handled the ball. This rule is in place to discourage players from exploiting the goalkeeper's ability to handle the ball excessively and to promote fair play.

In contrast, a goal kick would not apply here since the ball was not out of play nor was there a scoring opportunity. A direct free kick would be inappropriate because the infraction does not involve a foul or dangerous play against an opposing player. A drop ball is also not the correct restart because it is reserved for specific circumstances where play is stopped, but not due to a foul
