The video displays the squash and stretch principle through the movement of the kicker's right leg. It changes shape as it is about to kick the soccer-ball. In addition, the kicking back of his leg shows anticipation right before he kicks the ball. Also, the goalkeeper's stance, along with his reaction to the ball being kicked, shows anticipation. The shaking of both the player's clothes shows the follow through and overlapping action as it continues to move despite the lack of movements from both player. The speed of the kicker's leg and the speed of the ball as it flies decelerates over time, showing the slow in and out principle. The ball and the kicker's leg move in an arc, hence another principle.

Finally, the timing principle is displayed. The time it takes for the ball to reach the goal post before being deflected to the goalkeeper's face is nicely timed, appearing realistic rather than too slow or too fast. The time it takes for the kicker to reach and kick the ball also applies to this principle, along with the goalkeeper's reaction to being hit by the ball.
