nutmegged
Ball between legs
Nutmegged describes a move in soccer (and other sports) where a player passes the ball between an opponent's legs, typically while retaining possession.
The move humiliates the defender—their legs form the gap through which the ball travels.
He nutmegged the goalkeeper and scored.
The noun nutmeg names the move itself, and to nutmeg someone is to execute it.
