Questions & Answers about En cada saque de esquina, la afición se pone nerviosa.

Why is it en cada and not something like a cada here?

En cada means at/on each or in every in this kind of context.

In En cada saque de esquina, en is used to locate what happens during each corner kick:

• En cada partido = in every match
• En cada ocasión = on every occasion
• En cada saque de esquina = at every corner kick

Using a cada would sound wrong here. A is not the normal preposition for this time/situation meaning.
