• If a player attempts a slide (without contact) inside the penalty box, it results in an indirect free kick. Example if there is no one around, but a player slides.
• If a player slides and there is contact that stops the play inside the penalty box, it results in a penalty kick and a yellow or red card depending on the severity of the slide.
