Goals logged in the LiveScore app land in your Control Room within seconds. One click brings up the goal graphic with the scorer and the minute already filled in, so nobody types names under pressure.

Before you start
Your scorer is logging the match in the LiveScore app (score.ligr.live), and the match has been started there.
A goal graphic is in your Control Room with its context set to Goal Event. Without context, clicking a goal won't bring the graphic up. See Add context.
The Control Room is in Manual, so you decide when the goal goes on air.
How a goal reaches the Control Room
When your scorer logs a goal in LiveScore, for example a goal for Harbour City (HCF) against Ridgeview (RVR), three things happen:
The score in the Control Room header updates.
The goal appears at the top of the Events tab on the left, newest first.
The goal carries its details from LiveScore, such as the team, the scorer and the minute.
This usually takes a few seconds. You don't need to refresh the page.
Show the goal
Click the Events tab in the left panel, if it isn't already open.
Click the goal. The graphics list filters to the graphics linked to goals, and the goal graphic comes up already filled in, with the scorer and the minute.
Click Preview to check the name, number, team and minute.
Click GFX IN to show it. The row gets a red outline and the graphic's name appears as a chip in the bar at the top of the Graphics panel.
When you're done, click GFX OUT, or the cross on the chip in the top bar.
After the goal, clear the event filter so you can see all your graphics again. Click the cross on the event chip above the graphics list.
Why it works this way
The goal graphic is linked to the Goal Event through its context. That link tells the Control Room which graphic belongs to a goal and which values to fill in. It's the same for cards and substitutions, if your room has graphics with Card Event or Substitution Event context.
Tips and common mistakes
The goal isn't on the Events tab. Check the scorer saved it in LiveScore and that the match has been started there.
Clicking the goal brings up nothing. The goal graphic needs Goal Event context. Edit it, open Context, set the type and click Update Graphic.
Wrong scorer or minute. The graphic shows what was logged. Ask the scorer to correct the goal in LiveScore, then click the corrected goal again before you put it on air.
Always preview. A quick preview catches a wrong player before your viewers do.
Running in Auto. In Auto, the game plan can show goal graphics for you. See Switch between Manual and Auto.
