Foul suffered 617723835 Fernandinho dribbled past by C. Pulisic

Successful: Yes / No

If the defensive player stopped the progression of the attacking player with the ball and didn't commit a foul, the dribble past attempt is considered won for the defender (and the linked dribble is considered lost). See the full definition in Offensive Duel.

Examples of a won dribble past attempt:

  1. defending player dispossesses the attacker
  2. defending player kicks the ball out
  3. the attacker stays with the ball, but the defender forces him to go back

If a defending player lets the attacking player progress with the ball, it's considered a lost dribble past (and a won Dribble for the player with the ball).
