When the preposition "with" is used as in the following sentences, does it mean "using something?"

Juventus 1 Man City 0
De Bruyne with a needless shot from range over the bar, unlike him to make the wrong decision. Juventus are sinking deeper and deeper now though as they look to hang on to this narrow lead

68 minutes: Juventus 1 Man City 0
Di Gregorio with a flying save to keep Gundogan’s shot from the distance out of the top corner!
 
No, it means doing something. These are actions.

I'm still confused. Does it mean the "with" is used as a verb that means doing something here? For example, can I say:

Marcus Rashford with a fierce strike.
Messi with a driving run down the left.

Yes. They are not complete sentences, but in a match/game commentary they don’t need to be.

The word with is a preposition, not a verb.

Marcus Rashford with a fierce strike.

Yes, but these are not sentences, so delete the full stops.
