- Goes into the net and results in a goal
- Is a clear attempt to score, that would have otherwise gone into the net, but was saved by the goalkeeper

1.4 Tackles (Match, Team & Player)

Classified as an event where a player connects with the ball in a ground challenge, where they successfully take the ball away from the player who was previously in possession of the ball. The tackled player must have clear possession of the ball before the tackle is made to constitute a tackle. It is not a tackle when a player cuts out an intended pass or loses control of the ball. A foul is not classed as a tackle.

1.5 Offsides (Match & Team)

When a player is deemed to be in an offside position and a subsequent free kick is awarded to the opposing team. If 
two or more players are in an offside position when the pass is played, the player considered to be closest or has 
attempted to touch the ball or interfere with play is given offside.

1.6 Assists (Match, Team & Player)

The final touch leading to the recipient of the ball scoring a goal. Own goals, penalties or free kick goals do not have 
assists awarded. If a shot at goal is either saved by a goalkeeper, stopped/blocked by a defending player or hits the 
woodwork, the initial shot is not considered an assist. Deflected passes can still be considered an assist, providing 
the pass is complete and the following shot is a goal.

1.7 Passes (Match, Team & Player)

An intentional ball played from one player of a team to another player in that same team. These also include:
corners, throw ins, free kicks, kick-offs, goal kicks, goalkeeper throws.

Incidents where advantage is played do not count towards the total fouls committed count, even when a player is 
subsequently cautioned. A free-kick or penalty must be given in order for it to count as a foul committed.

2.1 Fouls Won (Match, Team & Player)

A foul won is defined as where a player wins a free kick or penalty for their team after being fouled by an opposition
