To make his way means to move in a direction - he moves down the left side (with the ball).
The ball travels in a direction - here, we can say that the ball arrived at the far post
(and 4) means to make a substitution - so one player makes way for another player to come on.

My days, it's three for Fulham and Forest have been sliced open again.

Three goals in six minutes!
