Blowin' in the Wind

Check out the following video on You Tube of this recent game in Baden-Würtemburg, Germany between first place TSV Grunbach and second place TSV Wimsheim:

It's a funny clip and appears to show a player taking a 6-yard kick into heavy wind, only to see the ball blown into his net for an apparent goal for the other team. (I'm not sure which team is which here.)

However, the goal should not count. Law 16 says, "A goal may be scored direct from a goal kick but only against the opposing team." It appears no one touched the ball after it was kicked, so the kick should be re-taken.
