Szöglefordulás

Szöglefordulás is a Hungarian term that translates to "corner kick" in English, commonly used in the sport of football (soccer). It refers to a method of restarting play when the ball goes out of bounds over the goal line, having last been touched by a defending player, and a goal is not scored. The attacking team is awarded the opportunity to kick the ball from the corner arc nearest to where it went out.

The objective of a corner kick is to deliver the ball into the penalty area, creating a scoring opportunity for the attacking team. This can be achieved through various tactics, such as a direct shot on goal, a cross to a teammate's head or foot, or a short pass to a player positioned closer to the goal. The defending team typically forms a defensive wall to block potential shots and marks attacking players to prevent them from getting clear headers.

Corner kicks are a significant tactical element in football, often resulting in goals due to the close proximity to the opponent's goal and the aerial advantage attacking players can sometimes gain. The execution of a corner kick requires precision and teamwork, with both the kicker and the receiving players needing to understand their roles and execute their actions effectively. The outcome of a corner kick can significantly influence the momentum and score of a match.
