clear
What Is The Definition Of Clear In Soccer?
This is kicking or heading the ball away from the goal. A clear is used to eliminate a threat from an oncoming opponent. It is often done in a situation where a defender is scrambling to prevent a goal from being scored; therefore, a clear is often completed with the intent to get the ball as far away as possible as opposed to passing it directly to another player in a controlled manner.
