進球了
jìn qiú le
[jeen chyoh luh]
💬 Usage Tip: [進球] means “to score a goal,” and [了] shows that it just happened. So [進球了] feels immediate: “They scored!”
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: When a goal happens, Taiwanese viewers often shout the full phrase [進球了！] instead of staying quiet and calm. Sports-watching can get very lively.
