Scoring goals in football is typically the task of the forwards, but the role of defenders should certainly not be underestimated.
Although defenders are usually focused on preventing the opposing team from scoring, there are times when they contribute crucial goals. Whether it’s during set-pieces like corners and free-kicks or unexpected moments in open play, defenders can turn the tide of a match with their scoring ability.
Their presence in the opponent’s penalty area adds an extra dimension to a team’s attacking options, making them valuable assets not just in defense but also on the scoreboard.
