Who gets credit for goal? Who gets credit for the assist? Answer provided by Referee Chuck Fleischer The referee credits one goal to the team opposite to that defending the goal. Statisticians muddle with all the other stuff.

View Referee Chuck Fleischer profileAnswer provided by Referee Richard Dawson As a coach I give my players as MUCH credit as I can I congratulate the shooter as well as any player who makes that shot possible? It is a team game keeps it that way! I suppose if there were league stats an own goal has no opponent credited or perhaps the header if classified as a deflection then the shooter receives credit! In truth I cannot be sure nor is it of great concern
