Is it possible to score a ball without POSSESSing it?

I noticed when I was watching Finals 2 of GTREast that it looked to me like the red alliance was shortchanged by 40 points.

It didn't change the outcome, but watching the video again, it definitely looks like they successfully completed 2x 41-pt CYCLEs (3 ASSISTs + TRUSS + LOW GOAL) in addition to their autonomous score, but only got credited for 2x 21-pt CYCLEs.

The first cycle, its pretty apparent by the ASSIST lights that the refs just missed counting 2198's POSSESSION in the blue ZONE.

I did notice though, that on the second cycle, when 4476 puts it through the LOW GOAL, they did so in a way that arguably did not actually constitute 'herding' (though I would argue that they did 'trap' the BALL against the field border just before they SCORE it).

Do you think it is possible to SCORE a BALL through a LOW GOAL, without POSSESSING it? (Discuss the general case, and not this specific instance.)
