You are reading it wrong

The "played or touched" referred to here is the initial pass forward by Mario. ie. a player is only offside if he reacts to that pass. What it means it that you can be in an offside position, but not offside, until you react to that pass. It's been the rule for YEARS and there have been thousands of similar goals scored.

The pass from Pukki is the next phase of play.

      - That’s not relevant (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:11:17
        
        Because it’s examples of what “gaining an advantage” per the rules means (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:17:37
        
        But Todd did get an advantage (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Dec 30, 10:27:46
        
        He didn’t - that’s the point of the example (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:55:49
        
        The touch referred to is the FIRST touch, not the Pukki pass (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 30, 10:30:30
        
        You might be right but I can't remember any (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Dec 30, 10:39:06

        Then why is the diagram in the rules called "gaining advantage"? (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Dec 30, 10:15:25
        
        But it says a deliberate touch by an opposition player brings him back onside (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Dec 30, 10:23:38
        
        It's not referring to the second pass (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 30, 10:26:05
        
        That’s a different scenario (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:25:07
        
        I get that it is different (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Dec 30, 10:38:18
        
        Because that isn’t the rule (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:57:18
        
        Yes. Todd didn't get involved from that pass. Only from the next one (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 30, 10:19:23
    - please don't ever do that again (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Dec 30, 09:53:18
