verb

Bloquear el tiro

To get in the way of a kick of the ball, preventing it going very far. When a player is kicking the ball, an opponent who is close enough will reach out with his hands and arms to get over the top of it, so the ball hits his hands after leaving the kicker's boot, dribbling away.

"The defender smothered the forward's shot by quickly getting his hands over the ball right after it left her foot, stopping it from going to the goal. "

El defensor bloqueó el tiro del delantero al poner rápidamente sus manos sobre el balón justo después de que saliera de su pie, impidiéndole ir a la portería.
