breakaway goal
Uncontested fast finish
A breakaway goal in hockey or soccer is scored when an attacking player gets past all defenders and faces only the goalkeeper, having "broken away" from the pack.
The term emphasizes both the isolated one-on-one situation and the speed required to create it: He stole the puck at center ice and scored on a breakaway goal.
