South American Games Online – Day 3: Precision in the Soccer Challenge and Suspense in the Overall Standings!

The third day of the AmLaSud Games’ remote challenges featured the soccer ball in the Soccer Challenge (the crossbar challenge). For two intense minutes, the co-ed teams from each school had to demonstrate their accuracy and strategy to hit the crossbar from different distances (5 m, 7 m, 9 m, and 11 m), trying to string together consecutive successful shots to multiply their points.
