what's the meaning of the following sentence

Høgli played the ball on the head of Gudjohnsen
  

Top answer

It means that there was a ball on Gudjohnsen's head and Hagli played it (kicked it). This is clearly a nonsense, so the writer must have meant to say Hagli played the ball onto Gudjohsen's head. That means that Hagli kicked the ball in such a way that Gudjohnsen was able to strike it with his head (a common way of playing the ball in association football (soccer).
