The position of the ball, when the shot is taken (shot origin).
Any event happening on a line, will be considered inside that area. For example, a shot on
the 18-yard line will count as being inside the box.
Regarding deflections, normally a goal is awarded if the original attempt is on target. An own
goal is usually awarded if the attempt is off target and deflected into the goal by an
opponent.
4.1.3. Shot on Target
Any shots deemed to be on target by Stats Perform (OPTA).
This can occur and result in winnings on any number of occasions during a single game, but
the average is nine (9) per game.
A shot on target is defined as any goal attempt that:
Goes into the net regardless of intent – For Goals only.
Is a clear attempt to score that would have gone into the net but for being saved by the
goalkeeper or is stopped by a player who is the last-man with the goalkeeper having no
chance of preventing the goal (last line block).
Shots directly hitting the frame of the goal are not counted as shots on target, unless the ball
goes in and is awarded as a goal.
Shots blocked by another player, who is not the last-man, are not counted as shots on target.
4.1.4. Free Kick

A tackle is defined as where a player connects with the ball in a ground challenge where he
successfully takes the ball away from the player in possession.
The tackled player must clearly be in possession of the ball before the tackle is made.
A tackle won is deemed to be where the tackler or one of his team-mates regains
possession as a result of the challenge, or that the ball goes out of play and is “safe”.
A tackle lost is where a tackle is made but the ball goes to an opposition player.
Both are deemed as successful tackles however, the outcome of the tackle (won or lost) is
different based on where the ball goes after the tackle.
