The infringement the goalie committed is known as a double touch. He had possession with his hands, released the ball into play (albeit inadvertently), then touched it again with his hands before any other player touched it.
This results in an IFK for the opposing team.
No recovery time is given to a team which commits a foul or an infringement of the rules, unless the referee first signals in the wrong direction and then corrects his call.
In your situation the opponents can take the IFK as quickly as they can get there to do so.
