What does a “breakaway” stand for in football?
What is called a “breakaway”?
Breakaway happens at the point when an attacker with the ball approaches the goal undefended; this energizing performance sets a sole assailant against the goalkeeper in a one-on-one confrontation. This is a fast break where one or more attackers get behind the defenders so that only the other team’s goalkeeper is between them & the goal. Breakaway’s often happen because a defense is “pushed up” & “flat” (i.e., has no “depth”), which makes it vulnerable to “through balls”.
