There is no field goal in Association Football (soccer), that exists only on American football.
A field goal (kicking the ball through the uprights at the end of the field) is worth 3 points in American football. There is no "point after" attempt for a field goal. In contrast, a touchdown (carrying the ball past the goal line) is worth 6 points and allows an attempt for an additional point after touchdown, which closely resembles a field goal.
Only if you played football between 1883 and 1903, when the field goal was worth 5 points!
