When a soccer ball is kicked with a counter-clockwise spin, low pressure occurs when the airflow is in the same direction as the spin on the ball and high pressure occurs when the airflow is in the opposite direction as the spin on the ball. The "Magnus" force/lift acts on the ball and pulls it toward the goal.
