In futsal, *accumulated fouls* refer **only** to fouls that result in a direct free kick. Once a team has accumulated five such fouls during a half (those accumulated in the second half continue to accumulate into extra time), the opposing team will be awarded a penalty kick.

Accumulated fouls are recorded by Referees and Club Reporters for each half of the game for each team.


To record the accumulated fouls for a match, complete the following steps:

1. Open the ***DRIBL ***app.
2. Tap :Match_Centre: **Match Centre **from the navigation bar and select **Schedule**.
3. Locate and select the match you need to administer.
4. Tap on **Match Sheet**.
5. Select the **Foul Accumulations **option from the **Game** section.
6. Tap the **Half Time** input field for the home team and enter their accumulated fouls at half time. Do the same for the away team. Repeat the same process for the **second half**.
7. Review all details to ensure they are correct and then tap **Submit**.
8. The Match Sheet is displayed. The **Foul Accumulations** section will show that the scores have been submitted for the match.
