And each time I see it, it's a goal.

But the last guy to come back onsides is almost exactly lined up with the 2nd to last defender who was tracking Auba. So if the line judge says that this last Dortmond player interfered with the ability for the defender to track and contest Auba from receiving the ball and scoring, the he is justified in calling off the goal. Dortmond had an advantage by haveing a guy behind the penultimate defender...that's the definition of offsides.

I can't understand how players don't "get back" faster and avoid this from even happening. You can only cause problems by lingering in an offsides position.
