Two different types of goals can be scored in this game. The one drawn is the ball is played out wide for a cross into the box. Either the ball or the man can go through a gate but both can't go through the same gate. If it is played out wide the attacking team attacks the goal and the defending team tries to defend the cross. Not drawn is through the central gates. If the ball is played through here the attacker can go in un opposed for a first time finish on goal. Same rule applies the ball or the man through a gate but both can not go through the same gate. If Orange wins the ball they must make 5 passes then play to one of the two yellows feet for a goal.
