A pass that immediately creates a clear goal scoring opportunity for a teammate.

Key pass from F. Neuhaus to A. Plea

Details

• Key Passes include only type pass actions
• If a key pass is a Shot Assist, it will be assigned the xA value (see Shot Assist).
• A Key Pass can also be an assist.

Please note: on legacy API endpoint v2/match/wyId/events a Key Pass (API tagId: 302) was considered any action (not only a pass type) that immediately creates a clear goal scoring opportunity for a teammate who in turn fails to score. As a consequence a Key Pass was never also an assist.
