Grammar

where or that

The sentence might not make sense without context but it has to do with sports. Which is correct in terms of grammar? Would you have to change a word or two?

It gives him enough of an edge where if a player does that, he can still score.
It gives him enough of an edge Emotion: football that if a player does that, he can still score.
It gives him enough of an edge to score even if a player does that.

Thank you

All these are a little confusing. I would change the order of the sentence to make it clearer. It gives him enough of an edge so that he can still score even if a player does that.

Either is acceptable: "so close that" or "close enough for."
