The scoring technique used in foosball is primarily through goals, where players score by navigating the ball into the opposing team’s goal using controlled rod movements. Each point counts towards the final score of the match, and games are typically played to a predetermined number of points, often 5, 10, or 11. Players strategically maneuver their figures to block their opponents while attempting to strike and score. Techniques such as passing, spinning, and defensive plays become essential to outmaneuver the opponent, making foosball a fast-paced competitive sport.
