Abstract
Abstract An indoor football (soccer) match set including at least one gate or goal, but preferably two goals, and a ball. A movable plate within the goal is responsive to a ball entering the goal. A movement of the plate is transmitted to a counter mechanism through a latch element having a cam which contacts the rear face of the plate. The counter mechanism comprises a bar having numbered marker panels arranged thereon, which bar is adapted to move downwards by one panel each with every movement of the plate. The downward movement of the bar is controlled by latches of the latch element which engage teeth in the bar.
