Soccer Advantage Clause
A clause in the soccer rules that gives the Referee the discretion to allow play to continue even after a soccer foul has been committed if stopping play would unfairly punish the fouled soccer team (e.g., if the fouled team had a breakaway & might score even after having been fouled). The idea is that the soccer team which committed the foul should not gain an advantage as a result of the soccer foul. (See “Fouls“).
