I've done a very similar thing with a football
Another miserable Wednesday afternoon, and our PE teacher slid in a cross to me. He was a good sort, always willing to let the crap boy have his turn.

I was, literally, on the goal-line. The only way I could fail was to miss the ball entirely.

I didn't fail. I made contact with the ball. Rather than hoof it fifty yards, I simply favoured the nonchalant tap-in approach.

The ball bounced off my foot, lost all momentum, and dropped vertically onto the goal-line where it was retrieved by a grateful keeper.
