A defender takes a free kick and passes the ball to a goalkeeper who slips on the grass and does not touch the ball. An attacker runs towards the ball so the same defender kicks it out for a corner kick and denies the opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity.
Decision?

➡️ bad weather
➡️ a defective ball
➡️ inadequate light
