Goalscoring refers to the act of a player scoring a goal in a sport, typically by sending the ball, puck, or other object into the opponent's goal. It is a key aspect of many games, such as soccer, hockey, and lacrosse, where the primary objective is to score more goals than the opposing team. Goalscoring requires skill, timing, and accuracy, and it is often seen as a major achievement in a match. Players who score multiple goals in a game may be praised for their performance and playmaking ability.
