Hello everyone. I don't understand the following words: to cushion. To get a head on. To go all the way through. Clatter into. Could you please explain what they mean? Lovely move for Newcastle United. Perez crosses and Mitrovic cushions the ball for Wijnaldum but he fires well over the ball. 51 mins Willian's inswinging free kick goes all the way through to Hugo who gathers with ease. 89' Goal for Arberdeen. Adam Rooney gets a head on Heyes' quick free-kick and it loops over Gordon. 66' Carrasco is clattered into by Piccini, and Atletico are awarded a free kick in a dangerous position midway inside the Betis half of the pitch.

- To cushion the ball is a way of touching or controlling the ball in a delicate manner. In the example above the player controls/passes the ball for his team mate.
- To get a head on the ball is to reach a cross with a header. In this example, the player heads a centre which came from a free kick.
- If a free kick goes all the way through to the keeper (Hugo) it means that no player touched the free kick.
- If a player clatters into another player then he or she has tackled the opponent in a very strong and uncontrolled way.
