"Knocked the ball home" = scored a goal "deflected shot" = a shot made by someone just touched another player's leg and its path got changed "forced extra time" = extra time becomes necessary when the scores become equal. The "deflected shot" must have entered the goal, because it says that play continued into extra time. "Gilberto's late goal" = a goal by someone named Gilberto(Silva) made very late into extra time, that is, when extra time was almost over.
- "Knocked the ball home" = scored a goal "deflected shot" = a shot made by someone just touched another player's leg and its path got changed "forced extra time" = extra time becomes necessary when the scores become equal.
- The "deflected shot" must have entered the goal, because it says that play continued into extra time.
- "Gilberto's late goal" = a goal by someone named Gilberto(Silva) made very late into extra time, that is, when extra time was almost over.
- "forced it to penalties" = obviously, when extra time is over and the scores are still the same, you have penalty shootouts to decide who wins the match.
- Therefore, the writer means to say that the goal made by Gilberto Silva equalised the scores once again, and the game went on into a penalty shootout.
