What is Goal in Gaelic Football?

The big score, worth 3 points: the ball put into the net under the crossbar, past the goalkeeper, by a kick or legal strike — a deliberate hand-pass to the net does not count. Signalled with a green flag.

Example: The full-forward buried the goal low to the keeper's left.
