Match basics

Score more goals than your opponent. Each team has one goalkeeper and five outfield players on a 9 × 14 pitch.

Turns and ball actions

Choose 20, 40 or 60 turns per team. Each turn lasts 45 seconds; local matches against the bot have no turn timer.

Each team gets two ball actions per turn. A pass, shot or starting a player’s dribble uses one, even if it fails. Dribbling is charged once per player per turn. Kickoff starts with a pass.

How to win

A two-goal lead ends the match immediately. Otherwise, the team with more goals after both sides complete their turns wins; a tied score ends in a draw.

Learn on the pitch: pass, dribble, defend and launch a counterattack. Follow the highlights and use the real game controls.
