toe-poking
Nudging with digits
Toe-poking is kicking a ball with the tip of the toe rather than the instep or laces—a technique frowned upon in proper football but effective for quick, unexpected shots in tight spaces: He toe-poked it past the keeper.
The term sometimes describes any clumsy or improvised kick.
