In hockey, what is the meaning if the umpire signals by pointing both arms horizontally toward the centre of the field?

Goal scored

The correct answer is Option (1) - Goal scored

• If the umpire signals by pointing both arms horizontally toward the centre of the field it means goal scored.
• If the umpire raises both arms horizontally in the direction of the goal, it is a penalty corner of the signal.
• A defensive violation within the penalty circle or a willful violation within the defensive 23- meter zone results in a penalty corner being issued.
• A penalty corner, sometimes referred to as a short corner in field hockey, is a sanction imposed on the opposing side.
• Attacking players seek them out eagerly because they offer a great chance to score. Players learn specialised abilities for this phase of the game, such as the drag flick, and there are specific rules that only apply in penalty corners.
