1 vs 1 After a Pass from the Half-Pitch + Finish

Pitch: Two cone goals and two starting cones are set up out wide, 25 to 30 metres in front of the goal; cones limit the playing space towards the centre.

Equipment: Cones, 1 goal and several balls.

Players: One attacker and one defender each, as well as a striker running in; in addition a goalkeeper.

• From the yellow cone a pass is played over 20 metres to the attacker.
• The attacker takes the ball forward in the stride and goes into the 1 vs 1 from short range.
• The blue cone serves as a reference point for the full-back, who steps out as the pass is played.
• The defender closes off the inside lane, drops back slowly and steers the attacker towards the outside.
• If the attacker manages to break through down the outside lane, a cross is played to the striker running in; the defender tries to prevent this.
• Alternatively, the attacker may also cut inside and finish.
