Don't remember the distance, but must have been like thirty meters, a bit in the opposition side from a few distance from the side, a long ball that the goalkeeper got his fingertips to but couldn't stop. My first FM09 game, trying a BSN team (Hyde).
Since then, the goalkeeper has several times send some balls forward, that the opposition goalkeeper easily grabbed up after the bounce, so not one was a real chance, but some of those long balls were going toward goal.
