Home Field Soccer is the scorebook that keeps up with the match. Track goals, shots, cards, substitutions, possession, and penalty shootouts in real time — then view polished match summaries and minute-by-minute game logs. Whether you're a coach tracking your squad, a club scorekeeper, or a parent in the stands, pick the scoring mode that fits how much detail you want to capture. THREE WAYS TO SCORE • Possession — the fast way to follow a match. One big button per team tracks ball control, with quick buttons for goals, shots, cards, and set pieces. • Advanced Possession — add touches, passes, crosses, tackles won, and 50/50s for a detailed picture of the match. Optional motion-based zone tracking tags events to the end of the pitch where they happen. • Player Events — score with your full starting squad on screen, arranged by formation. Tap any player to record their shots, goals, cards, and substitutions. Drag a player onto the pitch to record a shot from that exact spot. EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN A MATCH • Goals, own goals, and penalties • Shots on and off target • Yellow cards, red cards, and penalties conceded — with player attribution • Substitutions, free kicks, corners, throw-ins, offsides, injuries, and water breaks • VAR reviews: confirm or overturn goals and calls, issue straight reds, correct the offending player • Stoppage time, extra time, and full penalty shootouts with per-kick taker selection • Undo any event — everything is saved automatically BUILT FOR REAL TEAMS • Set starting squads with formations, positions, and substitutes • Manage teams, players, fields, and leagues across seasons • League rules set match length, squad sizes, extra time, and shootout settings automatically • No roster? No problem. Score against an unnamed opponent, or record players by uniform number and fill in names later AFTER THE FINAL WHISTLE • Match summary with a visual event timeline and team statistics — possession, shots, cards, and more • Minute-by-minute game log of every recorded event
