Reference Rule G20 in Update02 - that's specifically for touching "under" the goal posts. The goals have velcro that hold them down to the carpet, and the velcro contacts all along the edges of the bottom. So you will get a penalty if you try to go under the edges of the goal stuck to the floor. (Q/A id1169)

But you are in fact allowed to drive through a goal, therefore you are allowed touch the carpet "inside" the goal. Reference the Q/A id1216.
