However, that Bradley goal was from an inswinger — a cross that curls towards the net. Inswingers typically happen when a player hits a cross from the opposite side of the field to their foot — in other words, Bradley, lined up at the left corner flag, hit the ball with his right foot, creating the curve to take it back towards goal and into the net.
