The goalkeeper kicks the ball up-field and the attacking player A turns to take up an onside position.

The ball is intercepted by player B, a team-mate of the attacking player. It is transferred to another team-mate, player C, on the wing.

Although the attacking player A is in an off-side position, he would not be penalised since he is not involved in active play.
