Step 1

Open the correct match

  1. Sign in with the account that has access to the team. Open Scoring from My Tools or go to the scoring dashboard.
  2. Choose the match and confirm the teams, date, venue and status.
  3. Choose Field in the web scoring workspace when it is available. Other choices include Full, Sideline and Quick.

Field Mode availability depends on the match and its tracking setup. A public spectator page does not grant permission to score.

Step 2

Review the starting group

  1. Use Set Lineup before kickoff. Review player availability and the goalkeeper for the side being tracked.
  2. Use Previous Starters only when that group still fits this match, then check it before saving.
  3. Save the lineup and confirm the field and bench reflect the players who are actually starting.

Step 3

Start and control play

  1. Use Start Match when play begins. Use Pause and Resume Match when the recorded clock needs to stop and restart.
  2. Use the match controls to move to halftime and the next period. Check the displayed period before restarting.
  3. Use the configured period lengths for this competition; do not assume every game has the same duration.

Step 4

Record, then check

  1. Use the web Field Mode player actions or switch to Full Control for explicit event fields. The action guide explains the web gestures.
  2. Check the team, player, score and timeline after important events.
  3. At full time, confirm the score and any extra-time or shootout result before completing the match.

These are web steps. The native Score app uses its own player menus and scoring preferences; do not assume the same gesture has the same result on both platforms.
