The beginning of the possession
(Officially the “attacking phase of play”, which defines some caveats about deflections out for immediate throw ins and the like.)
In this case, while it was pushing it in terms of being all the way back at the other end of the field, I do think it was justified since the foul caused the turnover that immediately resulted in a continuous counterattack culminating in the goal.
