Stanchion sandwich

When you hit the perfect shot with a football (soccer) and it wedges itself in the top left or top right in the goal net support (stanchion). 70s/80s/90s term as typically goal stanchions don't really exist any more.

These days: top bins; but the ball was wedged in the upright to be retrieved manually.

I smashed a volley into the top right and got a stanchion sandwich.
