javascript – getting the inner text of a node

I am having trouble getting the inner text of a particular node. I have added the example node I am working with and the javascript I have come up with. The javascript works as far as returning this <span id=\"goal_left\">3 goals lect</span> if i log it to the console. If i add innerText to the javascript examples it will return nothing to the console. Any ideas how to get this text?

html

<span id=\"goal_left\">3 goals lect</span>

javascript: these examples return <span id=\"goal_left\">3 goals lect</span>

document.getElementById(\"goal_left\");

document.querySelectorAll(\"span#goal_left\")[0];

javascript: these examples return nothing

document.getElementById(\"goal_left\").innerText;

document.querySelectorAll(\"span#goal_left\")[0].innerText;
