Poor game management. When he said, "We defer and..." you should just tell him that he only gets to defer right now and he has to wait a moment on the goal to choose. You should not have reopened the other options - he already told you EXACTLY what he wants.
ANY time you are faced with a kid about to give the other team the ball both halves, you need to make sure that's REALLY what he wants.
