Saints have turned things around as Adam Armstrong is found by Mohamed Elyounoussi

[Kontol]

Could you please explain what "found" means in this context?

GOAL Southampton 2-1 Chelsea (45+1 mins)
Saints have turned things around as Adam Armstrong is found by Mohamed Elyounoussi and the striker fires home.

It means that Elyounoussi saw that Armstrong was free to receive the ball, kicked it to him (the ball "found" him) and then Armstrong scored.
