Two other players, the forward C and the defender and D are placed in the outside flank; the forward must try the loose his marker, following the possession phase of the teammates A and B, receive the ball (3) and finish in one of the two mini-goals of that side (4).
The defender must try to put pressure, closing the passing lines and intercept the ball; if he recovers the possession (5), he must try to finish in the opposite mini-goal (6). If the outnumbered player D wins the ball, he must pass it to his teammate E, who plays 1 vs 1 as well.
