down the other end

A free kick comes to Madrid down the other end, but Muslera collects the cross from Ozil.
Is 'down the other end' a phrasal adverb ? or this sentence means 'a free kick which comes to Madrid is down the other end'. ?

a word is elided: down the other end = down at the other end. A Madrid player is awarded a free kick, and either the player or the other team's goal is at the other end of the field, I suppose.
