Usage Note

Saque is a sports term derived from the verb sacar (to take out, to serve). In tennis it means 'serve', in football/soccer it covers saque de esquina (corner kick) and saque de banda (throw-in). Outside sport it rarely appears, so context is almost always athletic.

Examples

"El saque de esquina fue directo a gol."
