Hi, I read this sentence on ESPNsoccernet: Ronaldo added a second in the third minute of injury time after United broke with a swift counter-attack and the Portuguese winger calmly slotted home. I dont understand what "slotted home" means In soccer, 'home' refers to the goal area. A 'slot' is a precise space.
