In soccer, in a legal position (6)

I believe the answer is:

onside

(Other definitions for onside that I've seen before include "not breaking rules" , "(In football) not in forbidden zone" , "In OK position to achieve goal" , "Cricket's leg" , "in a permitted position in sport" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
