What Is The Definition Of Nutmeg In Soccer?
This maneuver involves kicking the ball through the legs of an opposing player. Immediately following this movement, the player completes a nutmeg by running past the opponent and continuing on with the ball. While this may occasionally happen naturally in regular play, a nutmeg is an intentional move that takes advantage of a defender leaving room between their feet when going up against the attacking opponent. It’s often taken as a blow to the ego by players who have been nutmegged.
