Just a minor nit. It should be pointing to the other foot for maximum effect.

What I like is when they call basketball roundball. As if that were the onliest sport with a round ball.

Yet this is a real question. What dó you say in general. A player gets a shot when he shoots a ball? It's in these little things a foreign speaker feels most uncomfortable. It's often straight opposites. So I would have said: gives a shot and that would have revealed me as a non native speaker.

he takes a shot.. he SCORES!
and the goalie (goalkeeper) has given (up) a goal.
(but that reads more like hockey-speak to me, not being much of a football (soccer) fan.
