Flicked on (football/soccer term)

This is part of a football match report:
'Tommy Smith had headed the Rams into the lead on 17 minutes after new signing Grzegorz Rasiak FLICKED ON.'
Below is another reference to that goal:
'Headed goal by Tommy Smith (Derby) (top-left of goal) from left side of penalty area (6 yards).Derby 1-0 Wigan. Assist (pass) by Grzegorz Rasiak (Derby) from left side of penalty area.'

What does 'flicked on' mean? Does it imply that Rasiak had just received a pass himself? Or is it just a synonym for 'passed the ball'?
  

Top answer

Yes you are very close with passed the ball. The description " FLICKED ON" is the manner it was passed. The ball was passed by the foot lightly lifting the ball in the air.
