Be the Referee: Soccer Offsides or Goal?

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment – Soccer Offsides or Goal? - Listen
Today we’re on the soccer field for another You Make the Call.
Team A has a throw-in near midfield. Team A’s No. 9 is clearly in an offside position when the throw-in comes directly to her. She collects the ball and kicks it past the keeper and into the goal. What’s the call?
Should the referee:
► Award an indirect free kick to Team B?
► Award a goal kick to Team B?
► Award a re-take of the throw-in to Team A?
► Award a goal to Team A?
If you said, "Award a goal to Team A" … you are correct, despite the goal-scorer being in a clear offsides position.
The soccer rulebook states that a player shall not be penalized for offsides if she receives the ball directly from a goal kick, corner kick or throw-in. It’s a legal play – and counts as a goal.
