rebound goal

Score after ricochet

A rebound goal is a score made by shooting a ball or puck that has bounced back after an initial shot hit the goalpost, crossbar, or goalkeeper.

In hockey and soccer, positioning for rebounds is a key offensive skill: She pounced on the rebound and slotted it home.

The goalkeeper makes the save, but the rebound goal punishes the team that fails to clear.
