Decision making key in wonder goal

Reading’s Deanne Rose creates and scores a fantastic goal in the WSL. The forward carries the ball from inside their teams half of the pitch, driving into space, before picking the right time to play a 1-2 with a teammate before finishing well. Decision making was key in this goal, the player chose the right moments to dribble, pass, then shoot.

Goal from anticipation

England’s Jude Bellingham scores for Borussia Dortmund against Manchester City in the Champions League. Watch how the midfielder anticipates the flight of the ball, between 2 static defenders to get a touch on the ball right in front of the goalkeeper to give them no chance on saving it. A great example of how a forward player gambling can pay off.
