Sliding tackle

Sliding tackle performed by player in blue (Mohammad Daneshgar).

A sliding tackle, also called slide tackle, is a tackle in association football in which one leg extends to push the ball away from the opposing player. Sliding tackles can often be sources of controversy, particularly when players being tackled fall down over the tackler's foot (or the ball stopped by the tackler's foot), and penalties, free kicks and cards are assessed (or are conspicuous by their absence).
