What is the meaning of the phrases "back in bussness" and "bring down" in football?
GOAL! Wolves 2-1 Leeds (HARRISON, 63 mins)
Breakthrough! Leeds are right back in business and it's a cracking goal too. Leeds switch the ball out from left to right, Luke Ayling brings the ball down nicely on his chest and hits a shot across goal and against the post. The follow-up is brilliantly cleared off the line by a scrambling Conor Coady but Jack Harrison is well placed to fire into the back of the net. Game on!
If a team (in this example, Leeds) are back in business it means they are back in the game, they have a chance to win or draw. Leeds were two goals down but this goal from Harrison has given them a chance of getting something from the game - they are bac in business (momentum has swung is another similar expression).

If a player (Ayling inthis example) brings the ball down it means they have controlled the ball - usually when the ball is in the air (or off the ground).
