The verb "get" has a lot of senses , in this context, does it mean to receive obtain the ball?

41 min: Tottenham continue on the back foot, struggling to get the ball out of their own half as United come at them in waves. With better finishing, the home side could be three or four goals ahead.

Note the corrections.
The structure above is:
get + something/someone + out of + somewhere/something.
For example:

Get your dog out of my garden!
She got her car out of the way.
They got me out of trouble.
