What sort of soccer play was this?

Awhile back I saw a soccer match where there was a play something like a penalty kick, something like a free kick, but not either of those exactly. I'm pretty sure it was taken within the penalty box, but not at the usual spot. The announcers were talking about how rare it was and how many teams don't practice for it. Anyone know what this could have been?
Do you happen to recall what game it was?

Best answer: It was most likely indeed an indirect free kick, which may have been awarded for the goalkeeper picking up a pass from a team-mate ie The 'Back-pass' rule.

Response by poster: Yes it looks like indirect free kick is the answer...didn't know there were two different kinds of free kick.
To Celsuis, sorry no don't know the exact game...would have been an MLS game, or maybe a game of one of the big European leagues. Around a year or two ago.
