English
Noun
stepover (plural stepovers)
- (soccer) A skill move performed by an attacking player in which the foot is moved over the ball without making contact with it, intended to confuse a defender.
- 2012 May 9, Jonathan Wilson, “Europa League: Radamel Falcao's Atlético Madrid rout Athletic Bilbao”, in the Guardian:
- Fernando Amorebieta seemed to have checked him, but a stepover created a fraction of room that became significant as the defender slipped, giving Falcao just enough space to curl a superb finish into the top corner.
