If the defending team kicks the ball across the goal line near a muddy corner flag, what must be done?

When the defending team kicks the ball across the goal line, whether it is a result of a goal kick or a corner kick dependency on whether the offensive team was the last to touch the ball before it crossed. If it is determined that the attacking team caused the ball to go out of play, then a corner kick is awarded to the defending team and it must be taken from the correct corner area, which is where the ball crossed the goal line.

This ensures that the game is played according to established rules, maintaining fairness and adherence to the regulations governing soccer. In this case, the muddy conditions do not waive the requirement that the corner kick must be executed properly from the designated corner area, emphasizing the importance of following the match protocols regardless of the playing conditions.
