Out of their own third

"However it has become trendy at the highest level for managers to embrace risk by using intense pressing to overwhelm their opponents, attack as the best form of defence in its purest form. Done well, the logical conclusion is that your opponent can’t get the ball or out of their own third." (The Guardian.)

Is "out" a verb (a bare infinitive) in the passage above?
