A scored goal raises the round's accumulated multiplier and unlocks a Collect (cashout) button; a goalkeeper save ends the round and forfeits the accumulated win (only the original stake was already spent).",

A goalkeeper character stands centred in the goal in a ready stance (arms out, knees bent), wearing a kit whose colours vary by round/opponent (observed: white jersey with teal/green geometric trim on Easy vs. USA/Uzbekistan; yellow jersey with blue shorts on Medium/Hard vs. Brazil; a light-blue jersey with black shorts on the mid-round Uruguay frame; a maroon/dark-red jersey with green shorts on the Portugal win-screen frame — kit colour appears to follow the opposing team's national colours).

See 'goal_zone_multipliers' below for the exact printed values per difficulty. NOTE ON ZONE COUNT: the task brief describes the goal as divided into 7 zones; this document's own pixel inspection of base_game.png (Easy) counted 8 distinct printed multiplier numbers across the 3-row layout (3 top + 2 middle-sides + 3 bottom row including the leg-obscured centre one). No explicit zone count is printed anywhere in the 12-page rules booklet. It is possible the centre-bottom label is not an independently selectable 8th zone (e.g. it may represent 'shoot straight at the keeper') rather than one of 7 distinct target zones, but this could not be confirmed by an interactive click-test in this documentation pass — flagged in 'uncertain_or_uncertain'.",

Because a goal was scored, ALL eight printed goal-zone multipliers have increased versus the idle Easy table: top row 'x2.3 / x1.8 / x2.3', middle row 'x1.5 / x1.5', bottom row 'x1.9 / (partially hidden, ~x2.3) / x1.9' — consistent with the rules text 'Goal!

The bottom control bar's fourth panel is now solid bright green with the label 'Collect FUN' and the value '1400' in bold white/black, replacing the idle 'Last Win FUN / 0' state — this is the cash-out button, clickable at any point after a goal to end the round and bank the shown amount.

    "Whether the single RTP/Min Bet/Max Bet/Max Win Multiplier table on rules_p12 (visually anchored directly under the 'Hard' difficulty widget) applies to all three difficulty levels or only to Hard specifically. There is no separate table for Easy/Medium anywhere in the fully-exhausted 12-page booklet (scroll_panels.exhausted=true in manifest.json), and Min Bet/Max Bet were independently confirmed by physically driving the bet stepper (which does not vary by difficulty), which supports — but does not prove — that RTP is likewise shared across all three levels.",
    "Ladder step illustration mismatch inside the rules booklet: the static illustration on rules_p1/rules_p2 prints ladder steps '1, 2, 8, 10, 25' while every live gameplay frame at every difficulty prints '1, 2, 5, 10, 25'. Both are reported verbatim; not reconciled (see 'illustration_number_discrepancy').",
    "Whether opponent-team selection (post-team_select.png, auto-rotating each round) affects goal-scoring probability or is purely cosmetic — no rules text addresses this and it was not stress-tested.",
    "manifest.json 'anomalies' also records inconsistent click-to-resolve UI behaviour during capture (single click sometimes resolving a shot immediately, sometimes requiring a second click on the ball) attributed by the capturer to a possible animation race condition in headless mode; balance deltas confirmed no double-charging. Noted here for completeness, not treated as a documented game mechanic."
