A useful example
An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
