I didn't watch the game, but I did see the highlights. The goal began with a defender lopping it to a rightfield striker, who heads the ball infront of the goal, and Pulisic taps it in.

I tried to look for the white defender between the goalie and the rightfielder who headed the ball, which would have made it a fair play but I couldn't find one. I looked at the field positions and, to me, it looked like it was an off-side play. It was more obvious than the second goal that was called off for offsides.

Have the rules changed since my kid played the game?
