Both ends of the field have goal posts: kicking the ball through them in a normal game situation is worth three points. A field goal attempt is usually made if the offense is close enough to the end zone for a successful kick to be possible, but believes it to be impossible to reach new downs, or is running out of time and scoring only three points would be enough. Both scoring and failure to score will both result in a change of offensive turn. Potkumaali (Pinomaa)
