Russian term

второй этаж

Russian to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation Football
Открыли счет казахи - на последних минутах первого тайма (42 минута) игрок «Тобола» Олег Сабиров забил, выиграв дуэль на втором этаже после углового.

Oleg Sabirov managed to score a header after... ?

Is there any phraze that has the same meaning in English as it has in Russin for "игра на втором этаже" (i.e. "with" your heads)?

Discussion

Vadim Kadyrov (asker) Sep 27, 2010:
Alexandra Taggart игра на втором этаже - это устоявшийся профессионализм в среде футбольных комментаторов.
kamilw Sep 27, 2010:
In Russian "ground floor" is "first floor", so anything above the ground could be "2nd floor" I reckon?
Alexandra Taggart Sep 27, 2010:
на втором этапе или во втором финале, никогда "этажей" в футболе не было.
kamilw Sep 27, 2010:
I would say "won the air duel", won't give it as an answer cos it's too close to Callum's. There are many examples in the web, here's one.
"A long ball was played into the Georgian penalty area where Rógvi Jacobsen once again won the air-duel, and the ball fell to a completely clear Christian Lamhauge Holst, but his shot was straight on the legs of Lomaia in the Georgian goal."

Reference:

Can you just clarify the meaning in Russian please?

The way I read this, and this is probably wrong, is that he won a battle in the air (на втором этаже) and scored (presumably with his head).

In football you always hear of players challenging in the air for a header.

If you can just clarify the meaning of the original Russian I can provide you with an appropriate English translation... football is one of my passions!

Just to clarify, I read this as "Oleg Sabirov scored, (winning the duel in the air?) from the corner."

Presumably they took the corner, Oleg rose up above the defender (winning the mid-air duel) and headed the ball into the goal.
