A corner kick is a method of restarting play in soccer when the ball goes out of bounds over the goal line, last touched by a player from the defending team. The kick is taken from the corner arc nearest to where the ball went out, allowing the attacking team a chance to score. During a corner kick, players often position themselves strategically to either receive the ball or create space. The player taking the kick can deliver the ball in various ways, such as a high cross or a low pass, aiming to assist teammates in scoring a goal against the opposing team.
