Don't worry about that. They are so similar in meaning that it's difficult to write quiz questions that test them fairly.

Sooting to the goal and scoring a goal are the aims of the strikers. They can also head the ball. The goalkeeper can punch the ball to save his goal.

Hi Ivan,
Thanks for your question. 'Mark' is a verb and it means to defend by standing next to an attacking player at set-pieces like corners and free-kicks to stop them getting the ball. For example, when there is a corner, the defending players will either 'mark' an attacking player or 'mark' an area of the pitch to stop the attacking player getting the ball. The first is called 'man-marking' and the second 'zonal-marking'.
Hope that helps!
