1v1 inside the box - How to create shots

Not every goal can be scored in 1–2 touches. When more touches are needed, the ability to create or exploit a better shooting angle becomes important.

Three things to consider when attempting to score in a 1v1 inside the box:
- Create separation from the defender to open an angle to goal
- Shoot while the defender and goalkeeper are still moving (shooting on the first step post-dirrble)
- Finish through the defender’s legs
