Are these sentences correct:

1-He ran towards the goal, receiving the ball on his way.

2-He walked towards the door, winking once at his brother.

3-He ran into the room, slightly touching the doorpost with his shoulder.

Hi navi t,

All three sentences are fine. The important point is that both the pronoun he and the following participial phrase are the same subject.
