More Soccer Ball

During yesterdays match between Holland and Denmark there was a free kick given to Denmark about 33 meters from goal. The ball was set in front of goal towards the left side of the goalmouth. What the replay of this kick showed was magical.
Pardon my simple sketch but there is nothing for the Mac in an inexpensive CAD/Drawing program.

 This ball flight was struck by a right footed player. Imagine a right handed pitcher throwing a curve ball to the right goal post. The ball was following the classic parabola at the top of its  flight, 10 o'clock down to 4 o'clock. Suddenly the ball curved upwards and to the right. The ball changed course 180% !!!
