Law 10 Method of Scoring
 
For simple explanantion, when the ball crosses the goal line completely between the goalpost and crossbar it is a score, unless there was a foul or law infringement  that negates the goal.  It does not matter which team touched the ball last.
 
Note:  A direct free kick does not count as a scored goal if kicked directly into one's own goal.  It will restart with a corner kick.  This situation could occur if a player intends to kick the ball back to the keeper or another player who then misses the ball and it subsequently enters the goal.
