Word for kicking the ball far away from opponent's goal in Association Football

To sky the ball:

when the player has hit the ball too hard and it has gone over the bar - not just over the bar but a long way over the bar.

Although there are adjectives like “skyer” and simple phrases like “well wide” or “well over the bar”, a British football description more on the lines of what is requested is:

That one landed in row Z

The seating rows are numbered from A, at the bottom, so row Z is much too high.

or, if the ball wasn’t so high, a commentator would often say:

The ball was always rising

As regards the supplementary question/comment for an expression that is not specific to being too high or too wide:

The shot was well off target

is used, although not particularly idiomatic. A more colourful expression, would be:

That one scared the pigeons

although at Brighton, Blackpool or Bournmouth, it would be transformed to something like:

That one scattered the seagulls
