See the idea in action
An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
A useful caution
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
