Encajar un tanto

El Liverpool encaja un tanto después de que otra pelota desvíe la trayectoria del balón

This is a news story about an unusual goal scored, from El Pais. What does encaja un tanto mean?

JaJAjAJA estaba mirando ese partido y vi la pelota grande roja MUY RARO! A la primera mirada no la vi pero durante la reproducción es obvio. Un chico la lanzó en la cancha.

PD. También he visto tanto usado así.

And a third usage means "so much".
