What is the ruling when a ball bursts after a kick but still goes into the net?

Even if the ball is headed into the net for a goal, if it bursts or deflates at any point while in play, the Laws of the Game require that play must be stopped and restarted with the new ball at the point where the ball first became defective, which means a goal cannot be scored with a burst ball. If the ball deflates after crossing the goal line, it is a goal.
