its usual that gk's lift their knee up to protect themselves. but this gk tried to hit the player a bit...perhaps he didnt want to injure this player, but he did.

@Eriqo666 Ehm Lillestrøm - IK start mener du vel?

The goalkeeper is allowed to raise a knee to protect his/her exposed mid-section, which this keeper did with his RIGHT knee, but then intentionally followed with his LEFT knee to hit the onrushing player in the face. Bookable offence.

@whatnowalli while u are right, this isnt how there trained to do it by any means this is an example of him using this rule perhaps to his advantage but this is not how there trained

@sgblack90 soccer goalies are trained especially to come up with one knee facing the attacker to defend ones self, this is an exceptional example of that and in no way is this a card or a foul

Well youre supposed to raise the knee to the closest attacker...

Two things seal the call for me. One - the goalkeepers eyes are on the ball, clearly. He makes a clean catch of the ball at eye-level. The onrushing attacker may have been in his peripheral vision, but certainly not his focal point. Two - a goalkeeper stretched out to catch a high ball is far more vulnerable than the lower, onrushing attacker. The attacker has an array of options to avoid a collision. Goalkeepers are trained to raise a knee in response to threats when going up for a ball.
