the defense and supporting them. If the defenders are that far up, the keeper being up is to prevent the other team from just booting the ball and chasing it into what would be an entirely empty half.

Bigger picture is why at only 1-0 down relatively early in the second half, the team is playing so far pushed up

- It was from a deflected shot, so the defensive players didn’t have time to reset. They’d usually be able to get in the way of something like that. -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 14, 08:35 1
