A closer look at one 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. Check the stated objective.

Notice this detail

The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
