The intent of the question is to try to illustrate that Team-A would get an opportunity to free-kick for a field goal even though they have run a play since taking over the ball as a result of the KCI foul.
Personally, I doubt anyone will see this happen in their entire football career.

However, I'm a bit taken back that some responders really feel that team-B is committing DPI on the play.
In the Simplified and Illustrated manual, page 63, there is a case play where the Team-A player is standing there and the team-B player runs into him.
They say this is DPI and I agree.
But, rule 7-5-10-a equally applies to team-B as well, so just as it can go against team-B it can go against team-A.

Based on the bare bone words used to describe the play, I cannot agree that this is DPI. It's OPI to me. If you want to change the play to make it more a DPI, then so be it. But as it stands, this play goes against team-A.
