What is the term “cruise” for in football?

If a team wins a game and they win three points we can say that they have claimed a victory; they are the victorious team. Sometimes, though, they have to work hard to win the game and we can say that they have laboured to victory – which suggests that although the team has won they may not have won convincingly. On the other hand, if a team easily wins a game then we can use the phrase ‘to cruise to victory‘.

The verb to cruise when used to describe travel suggests that a trip is very smooth – there have been no problems at all. In football if a team cruises to victory then they have had hardly any trouble or difficulty at all – it has been easy for them to win the game.

  • Example: Slick City cruise to victory.
  • Example: Liverpool cruise to victory over Porto after Naby Keïta’s flying start.
