"But I noticed that goals only come when there is an animation."
I've used lot of this feature with beta app and brand new "final" app of course (peeking my friends game too)... I believed the same as you until i scored a goal and my mate* scored another one WITHOUT animation...
so yeah not perfect that's for sure
*edit: that was an AMC goal from a long distance in beta (commentary: with a shoot rocket whatever text) and my mate vibered me back this: It was so fast that the camera couldn't follow his goal![]()
