Clearly handball but what decision does he makeIf the ball is still in play (not crossed the goal line) Handball
So what decision does he make and how does he restartPenalty. Handball.
Not a red card as the goal wouldn't have stood. Unsure if the player gets a caution.
He awards the penalty, and that is how the game is restarted. The ball was in play as soon as the player threw it in. A defender can't catch a ball in the penalty area and not give a away a penalty, that's an infringement, punishable by the award of a penalty. I'd have thought anyway.So what decision does he make and how does he restart

From the 4 sentence description, the defender didn't deny a clear goal scoring opportunity as you can't score direct from a throw-in, hence couldn't be red carded, and my gut reaction is he'd get a caution, but I can see a case for not issuing a yellow.
,,See aboveRed card, penalty…
Can't be a red card because you can't score from a throw in, if the ball had gone in the net it would've been a goal kick. the defender's a berk for catching it.Red card, penalty…
