Field position:

1 starting pawn at 30 meters from the goal. A defender at 10 meters from the goal. A goalkeeper on the goal. A second defender with the rising attacker.

Sequence of play:

According to the numbering in the diagram, the pass from the attacker through the midfielder is played deep. The defender runs with the attacker while the midfielder runs towards the goalkeeper to get the ball there and tries to score.

Rules/tips:

Defenders start at 50% effort and increase it later.
Make sure the ball is played deep.
The cross can be hit from the left or from the right.
A variation on this is to play with 2 midfielders and have 1 run towards the far post.
