FIFA's definition of a shot on target

Hi guys,

can't seem to find FIFA's definition of a shot on target. Obviously I have/had a bet on a player to have a shot on target. This player tried crossing the ball but ended up in the goalkeeper's hands - although the attempt would have gone in had the goalkeeper not been there. 

My googling did however find Opta's definitions: https://www.optasports.com/news/optas-event-definitions/

"Any goal attempt that:

  1. a)    Goes into the net
  2. b)    Would have gone into the net but for being stopped by a goalkeeper's save
  3. c)    Would have gone into the net but for being stopped by a defender who is the last man."

 

Any idea how I should go about finding it?

Haven't seen the actual shot, but if it would have bit the crossbar or post, it's indeed not a shot on goal, as @Livertool says.

Well, the official match report didn't credit him with a shot on goal, so that's how the bet should be settled: https://resources.fifa.com/image/upload/eng-09-0617-bra-sui-fulltime-pdf-2959995.pdf

NB if there was a very obvious mistake, which is apparently not the case, you could give it a go, but in this case I'd just leave it :)
