The verb "drift" basically means to move aimlessly from place to place. What does "drift" mean in this context (football/soccer)?

Schmelzer drifts a dangerous free kick into the box and Hummels is just inches from getting on the end of it at the back post.

SHOT! Nastasic allowed Reus to drift into the area and unleash a venomous left-footed effort that was just off target. The German international should probably have worked Hart there.

"Schmelzer drifts a dangerous free kick into the box" suggests that the free kick was aerial but not struck hard.

"Nastasic allows Reus to drift into the area" suggests that Reus moved quite slowly and unobtrusively into the area.
