Out / Football 'hit up'?
GOAL!!! A cross from Weimann is hit up rather than out by Kelly. Lowton wins a header to knock it back into the box and Bannan pokes an effort which deflects off the post and then off the keeper, but Agbonlahor is waiting to lash the rebound into the roof of the net. More poor defending from Reading.
"Rather than out" is an idiom, isnt' it? What does it mean? What is meaning of "out"?

Are you a football fan? In this case, 'out' is short form for 'out of bounds' or 'out of play'. Kelly did not knock the ball out of play (either over the goal behind him, or off the pitch to either side), but instead hit it directly up.

Thank you ^^ I am a fan of football.
Here,"hit up" means "kick the ball towards the sky",doesn't it? In the fact of this situation,the ball flied towards the sky and then fell down.

'Hit up' could refer to kicking or punching the ball especially when referring to a goalkeeper, so it is a little ambiguous. But yes, it does mean towards the sky.
