I thought that when you see a player pass the ball to another who scores, the first gets accredited with an assist, so it's representative. But, on second thoughts, the actual pass and goal don't have to be as you see them on screen.
Had a game, semi-final, just now. I was 3-1 up from the first leg and it's 1-1 with about 20 minutes. The ass. says "Come on! A draw isn't enough to proceed, we have to score!"
Oh. My. God.
