The primary scoring method in American soccer is through goals. A goal is scored when the entire ball crosses the goal line between the goalposts, usually after a deliberate effort by the attacking team. Each goal is worth one point, and the team with the most goals at the end of the match is declared the winner. Scoring goals requires teamwork, strategy, and skill, emphasizing passing, dribbling, and shooting. The excitement of scoring is a central aspect of the game, as players and fans celebrate each successful attempt.
