Learn from a sample situation

An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.

The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
