Want to know how to score Downward Headers in FIFA 23? The yearly reinvention of the legendary FIFA series always pays off with an abundance of new content for players to enjoy. In addition to the best game graphics and changes to some controls and main game modes, FIFA 23 boasts a lot of new mechanics. And the game mechanics during matches are essential. Of course, everyone wants to try new goal celebrations like Hit the Griddy, but you need to be good at playing to score, and knowing tricks like Downward Headers will come in very handy. Our guide is here to help you and tell you how to score Downward Headers in FIFA 23.

How to Score Downward Headers in FIFA 23

First, it is worth noting that you could do the score Downward Headers trick in previous games in the series. But the stunt mechanic was relatively difficult to perform and required good character control skills. In the new game, this trick is a little easier, and here is how to score Downward Headers in FIFA 23:

  • Wait until the ball flies close enough to you and is at the head layer.
  • Next, simultaneously press LB + RB on Xbox, L + R on Switch or L1 + R1 on PlayStation.
  • After that, press B on Xbox, A on Switch, or Circle on PlayStation.

It’s a little tricky to hit all the timings, but you’ll get used to it, and it will get easier after a few tries.

It is worth noting that the Downward Headers technique was and remains an extremely effective movement against the goalkeepers of the opposing team. A sharp head down at close range quite effectively changes the ball trajectory. The only chance for the goalkeeper to save the goal is to make a hard save by falling to the ground. And not each player can save such shots.

This trick is not easy to pull off, so you need to practice, and the best way to do it is to play with your friends. We also encourage you to check out our other guides and learn more about new and old tricks in FIFA 23.

FIFA 23 is now available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
