I'm confused by the construction of "head in ninth" in this football match report. Does the writer mean to say "head the ball within the ninth minutes?"

Fabio Carvalho claimed his first goal for the club when he volleyed in from Kostas Tsimikas’s lay-off and Diaz headed in Liverpool’s ninth – and final – goal before the conclusion to equal the division’s record win.

It means that he scored their 9th goal using his head.

Kontol, I've edited your thread title — 'Headed in Liverpool ninth' makes no sense.
