When a soccer ball is in flight, what forces are acting on it?

Force applied on the ball when it is kicked, gravitation pull and frictional force

Explanation:

When the ball is kicked it starts accelerating, the moment when it leaves the foot acceleration starts decreasing. Here two more forces start acting on it, one is friction force caused by wind and second is tradition pull of the earth. Both these forces slow down the motion of a soccer ball and it slows down and stops.
