shot on goal
Striker's aimed kick
A shot on goal is an attempt to score that would enter the goal if not stopped by the goalkeeper or a defender.
The term is standard in soccer and hockey statistics, distinguishing shots that test the keeper from those that miss the frame entirely: He had three shots on goal but couldn't convert.
