The main objective of the game of soccer is to score more goals than the opposing team. Goals are achieved by getting the ball into the opponent's net, which is defended by a goalkeeper. Players work together, using skill, strategy, and teamwork to advance the ball and create scoring opportunities. The game is played over two halves, each lasting 45 minutes, with stoppages for fouls and injuries. Winning, drawing, or losing greatly influences team standings and player morale, making achieving objectives crucial.
