See how the rules apply

An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.

A mistake to avoid

The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
