What does "buccaneering run" mean?
73 mins: Fornals so close again... Oh he's offside.
Antonio with a buccaneering run into Liverpool territory, but he delays the pass just too long and Fornals is a yard offside.

A buccaneering run is an attacking run from a player in which they run a long way with the ball and beat lots of the opposition players. Other terms we might hear include swashbuckling run or a mazy run in which a player dribbles past many players.
