Call the ball in Call the ball out Indicate a replay Ask for assistance from the second referee and then make a decision.

Answer 1

The first referee should **call the ball in**.Since the first referee clearly saw the ball land in, their observation takes precedence over the conflicting signals of the line judges. The line judges are there to assist, but the ultimate responsibility for the call lies with the first referee, especially when they have a clear view of the event. Ignoring their own clear observation to defer to conflicting signals would be incorrect. A replay is not warranted as the referee has made a definitive observation. Consulting the second referee is unnecessary as the first referee already has the information needed to make the call.
