In der 74 Minute erreicht ein messerscharfer,herrlicher Steilpab Marco van Basten,der dreht sich,Kohler gratscht und trifft den Ball,der Hollander fallt dennoch-Elfer.Thanks

Maybe someone familiar with football, or I guess, soccer, could do this better than I did; this is a description of a play, but I'm not familiar with sports terms and sports announcer lingo and don't know what a "Steilpab" is:

In the 74 minute, a splendid, knife sharp/dead on target?? reaches Marco van Basten, who turns, straddles Kohler, and kicks the ball, however, the Dutch player falls - 11.

Messerscharf literally means knife sharp, but not knowing what a Steilpab is, it's hard to say...it could mean a line drive, dead on target, right on...I guess kick, if this is soccer. Hope this helps.
