In football, a goal is the central and decisive moment of the game when the ball completely crosses the goal line between the posts and under the crossbar, provided no foul has occurred.

Goal: Meaning and Rules in Football

A goal is the ultimate objective of every team and the decisive factor for the outcome of the game. The rules of football precisely define when a goal is valid and which criteria must be met. It marks the successful completion of an attack and is recorded as a point for the scoring team, immediately leading to a lead or an equalizer.
