From there you drive opponent’s shoulders and knee down.
To achieve the optimal effect push the lapel down and drive the sleeve up (like in the end of the gif above). The goal is to flatten opponent’s shoulders giving you leverage.
Pinning the lapel to the floor is another good detail.
Once your hips are connected you’ll be able to execute the pass properly.
