I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'soccer team going' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'through main terminal' is the wordplay.
'through' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'INTER' can be found hidden inside 'main terminal'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inter that I've seen before include "Set deep" , "Prefix for between - bury it" , "Put into the ground" , "Milan FC" , "foreign footballers" .)
