Teams that are behind in score generally send their goalkeepers up front for a corner kick/set piece in the last seconds of the game.

Why are GKs not being sent up front when the result is a draw and the time has expired and it’s clear that the set piece/corner kick will be the last action of the game? The captain could surely confirm with the referee that the corner kick will definitely be the last action…

Is there a rule that prevents the referee to calling the game while the goalkeeper is in the opposing box or are teams just too scared that the ref will allow a potential counter attack?

    A similar situation happened last weekend, BVB playing Gladbach. Gladbach was behind with a goal, and the goal keeper made the way to participate in a corner kick in the extra time. Dortmund managed to win the ball while the goalkeeper was still out of position, the BVB player managed to run the ball towards the empty goal and score the 4:2. The ref did not end the game but let the situation play out…
