As a matter of fact, I had slightly trouble translating those vocabs into my native language, having said that I got everything alright anyway.
I need help clarification with the verb slot.As far as I understand slotted the ball into the open goal means the player scored the open goal or rolled the ball into the open goal or something ?

There were many words I still did not understand and had to look up. For example, "brew" "leaped" "opponent" "devastated".
