Keep the score across two legs separate from the rules used to resolve an equal total.

Distinguish live handling control from other goalkeeper actions and follow the official’s visible signal.

Check why play stopped, where the ball was and which team should receive the restart under the current law.

Understand when a corner becomes live, then read the delivery and receiving movements as a developing phase.

Separate the restart procedure from the pressing contest that begins once the kick has been taken.

Read the boundary decision, the thrower’s action and the receiving phase as separate parts of the same restart.

Use aerial-duel figures with location, pressure and the next action instead of treating a first touch as the whole outcome.

Compare the passes attempted and the pressure faced before ranking players by completion rate.

Check how a territorial share is calculated before using it to describe pressure, penetration or command of a match.
