/Sounds like "AHR" (as in "art") + "koh" (as in "coat")/

Meaning

The goal or goalmouth in soccer, the space the goalkeeper defends with everything. What Spain calls "portería" or "meta," Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, and Uruguay always call the arco. It's the sacred target every striker wants to hit and every keeper wants to protect.

Examples

He shot at the goal from midfield and it went right into the corner.

The shot went just a few inches over the crossbar.
