What is a line-breaking pass in football?

A line-breaking pass is a precise pass through the gaps in the opponent's defensive line, playing a teammate into a dangerous position behind the line or between two lines.

Why is the line-breaking pass important?

The through ball is an essential tool to overcome compact defenses and create clear scoring opportunities. It requires a high level of game awareness, precision, and timing from the passer, as well as the correct running movement from the receiver. A successful line-breaking pass can dismantle the entire opposing defense and create a promising attacking position.
