Was that a placed goal kick? Thought that wasn’t allowed unless it was a free kick?0

Yes a placed goal kick. I saw that on Quest last night.0

I am thinking of a goal kick that blows back into the goal. Not allowed and a corner given.0

I think you can score from a goal kick, it is just nobody ever does.0

LAW 16: THE GOAL KICK
IFAB Laws of the Game 2020-21
A goal may be scored directly from a goal kick, but only against the opposing team; if the ball directly enters the kicker’s goal a corner kick is awarded to the opponents if the ball left the penalty area.
