Recording goals as Match Facts in the LiveScore App captures each scoring event in real time, updating the live score and triggering any goal-related graphics configured in your Automated Game Plan.
What Are Goal Match Facts?
A goal Match Fact is a tagged event recorded during a match that tells LIGR Live a goal has been scored. Each goal you record:
• Updates the live score shown in the Scorebug
• Can trigger goal-related Playlists or Graphics via the Automated Game Plan
• Appears in the Review Page and Match Centre after the match
• Becomes a tagged Moment that can be used to create Highlights

• Goal type (e.g. open play, penalty, free kick, own goal)

Tips
• Record goals as soon as they happen so Graphics trigger at the right moment during the live broadcast.
• Double-check the scoring player before confirming — corrections are possible but may cause a brief graphic re-trigger.
• If your Automated Game Plan includes a goal Playlist, a recorded goal Match Fact will trigger it automatically in the Control Room.
• Keep your device connected to a stable network to avoid delays in syncing Match Facts.
