corner kicks

Arc set pieces

Corner kicks are a method of restarting play in soccer after the ball crosses the goal line when last touched by a defending player.

The attacking team places the ball at the corner arc and kicks it into play, typically aiming toward the goal mouth where teammates attempt to head or volley it in.

They scored twice from corner kicks.
