gold, goaled

Gold or gold means the precious metal, or the color of the same precious metal--
If the ring is gold it will probably have a mark on the inside of it.
He likes the gold car, but I want the blue one.

Goaled or goaled ( rhymes with gold ) is the past tense ( yesterday, or some time ago ) of "goal", meaning to score in a game by moving a ball or puck across a line or into a net--
We goaled in the first quarter, but the score has been tied ever since.
He has never goaled against this team before.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"The last time this player goaled, he became eligible for a gold medal."
