Why does a corner kick happen in soccer?
When the ball passes completely over the goal line on either side of the net so a goal is not scored, a corner kick is taken by a member of the attacking team. The ball can pass over this line either in the air or on the ground, and it must have been last touched by a member of the defending team.
