Putting it away
Goal scoring is the act of putting a ball, puck, or similar object into a goal to earn points in sports like soccer, hockey, or basketball.
The term often appears as a compound modifier: goal-scoring opportunities, goal-scoring record.
A player's goal-scoring ability is their knack for finding the net consistently.
