Work through an 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. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
