If the identified kicker of a penalty kick illegally feints but scores, what should the referee do?

In the scenario where the kicker of a penalty kick feints illegally but still manages to score, disallowing the goal and issuing a yellow card is the appropriate action. An illegal feint is considered a breach of the Laws of the Game, particularly under Law 14, which governs penalty kicks. The intent behind penalizing illegal feints is to maintain fairness in the game and prevent deception that can disadvantage the goalkeeper.

By disallowing the goal, the referee acknowledges that the action taken by the kicker was against the rules. The yellow card serves as a disciplinary measure intended to communicate that such behavior is unacceptable and to deter future infractions by the player or others.

In contrast, allowing the goal would undermine the enforcement of the rules and could lead to confusion and inconsistency in officiating. Moreover, awarding an indirect free kick or a new penalty kick to the defending team would not align with the specific conditions concerning illegal feinting during a penalty kick, as these are not the stipulated consequences for such an action.
