The situation:
Goal!!! First blood to Depor! It's horror defending from Celta as Riki is allowed to collect a pass from Gama before turning and firing his effort into the back of the net. Composed from the experienced striker, but where on earth was the marking? What a big goal that could prove to be.
What's the meaning of "composed" ?Is it a past participle,please ?

No, it is not. But I still do not understand what is being said in the text.

Composed is being used as an adjective in this sentence. "A composed finish" is a common phrase in football punditry, It means the player calmly scored while under pressure. So I think the announcer is shortening this expression, "[It was a] composed [finish] from the striker."
