15. Another thing - not a good angle for the picture, but I suspect white no. 5 is closer to the goal than the passer

You need a picture (or assistant referee's point of view), but from this one picture, I'd put people in order of closeness to the goal line as:

receiver
Colombia no. 25 to his left
Ghana no. 5 midway between receiver and passer
passer and Ghana defender near him too close to call from this angle
