3. Air Win / Air Lost - EAD

DEFINITION:
Fight between 2 or more players for high ball at the air

GUIDELINES:

These events are used, when there is a duel, fight at the air for high ball between 2 or more players. Usually attacking and defensive player jumps at the air with an attempt to reach the ball. The important thing is who will touch the ball first, doesn't matter what will happen next. For the player, who touches the ball first - it's Air Win; for the other player – Air Lost. An example – there is a duel in the penalty area, 2 players are jumps for the ball, the defender touches the ball first, but scores an own goal – still it is Air Win for the defender. Not every time when a player plays with head it's an Aerial Duel - there must be fight with an opposite player, who disturbs him. Also at least one of the fighting players must jump at the air, if both don't jump - it should not be an Aerial Duel.
