Solution
A goal is considered to have been scored in a field hockey game when the following conditions are fulfilled:
- The ball must fully cross the goal line between the goalposts and beneath the crossbar.
- The ball must have been played by an attacker within the shooting circle (also known as the "D"). Goals scored from outside the shooting circle are not counted unless the ball contacts another player's stick (from either team) inside the circle before crossing the goal line.
- The ball must not have been driven into the goal using any illegal means, such as using the back of the stick, feet, or risky play.
