See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
2v1's attacking 1 goal
Use cones to set up 2 gates at either side of the pitch as shown. Teams are split into attackers and defenders (plus a goalkeeper if using 7's goals). Supply of balls at Attackers end of the pitch
Attackers attack in pairs, defenders play 1 at a time
Pay initiated by attacker 1 playing a pass to atacker 2 (or vice versa). This is the trigger for the defender to enter the pitch and defend
Encourage defender to close down and isolate the player with the ball, force attackers to make decisions
Encourage attackers to use overlaps, draw the defender in, timing of pass and/or engage defender and try to beat him
If Defender prevents a goal they get a point and they can get a bonus point if they wins the ball they can dribble through either of the side gates
Attackers get 1 point for a goal

Split the pitch into 3 zones with 1 player from each team in each zone (plus their goalkeeper)
Play starts from 1 of the goalkeepers (for example red's goalie) plays into nearest team mate. Aim is to work the ball forward to score as with a normal game. Defending team have to stay in their zones and try to win the ball to become the attacking team. Attackers can dribble into the next zone to create a 2v1 in that zone (note only the next zone - 1 player can't move through all 3)
Once play is dead (goal/ ball out of play etc) start play again from the opposite goalkeeper
