The answer is number 3 - stroked the ball into the net describes a way that a goal is scored with the foot - usually placed with precision.
- Glanced suggests a slight touch with the head that changes the direction of the ball slightly - enough to beat a keeper.
- To nod the ball into the net suggests that a player has headed the ball down but also that not much power was used
