Player A plays the ball to a team-mate B in an onside position, although there is another attacker C in an offside position. Play continues, and afterwards, in the next phase of play, player B sends the ball to player C, who now is in an onside position. He scores a goal. What action does the referee take? The referee awards the goal; because when player C received the ball he was in an onside position.
