What is the ruling when A2 receives a goal kick in the attacking half without opponents near their goal line?

When A2 receives a goal kick in the attacking half, without any opponents near their goal line, play is allowed to continue. This situation occurs because a player cannot be offside when receiving the ball directly from a goal kick. The Laws of the Game specify that the offside rule does not apply in instances of a goal kick, corner kick, or throw-in.

As a result, A2 can legally play the ball, and no infringement has taken place. The absence of opponents nearby further emphasizes that there is no interference or potential for an offside violation. Since the rules permit this scenario, the game continues without disruption, allowing A2 to engage in play freely without being penalized for offside or any other infractions.
