Which of the following will not be punished by a direct free kick in a football match?
A
Expel the ball
B
Holding a competitor
C
Ball handling
D
Competitor drop
Correct Option:
A
Explanation
The wording of option A is nonstandard, but the other three choices correspond to recognizable direct-free-kick offences: holding an opponent, deliberate handball, and tripping or dropping an opponent. "Expel the ball" is not a standard direct-free-kick offence, so option (1) is the intended answer.
