What is the correct restart if a corner kick hits an overhanging branch and deflects into the goal?

When a corner kick is taken and hits an overhanging branch before entering the goal, the goal cannot be counted. According to the laws of the game, any external interference that affects the play necessitates a restart. In this situation, since the ball hit an object outside of the field of play (the branch), the correct procedure would be to have a kick-off.

A kick-off is used to restart the game after a goal is scored or at the beginning of a half. Since the ball did not legally go into the goal due to the interference, the game is restarted with a kick-off from the center of the field.
