Apologies for the confusion. I used quotation marks to make the sentence, I was referring to, more prominent. I admit the names should start with a capital word and there shouldn't be dots before the sentence.
You can think of 'finding the net' as scoring a goal or putting the ball in the net. It's commonly used by soccer commentators when someone scores a goal.
I hope that helps.

Ah! Over here we do baseball more, so that meaning didn't occur to me.
