Why use 一本 in the expression 一本取る and other interesting uses of 助数詞

I was watching an episode of ファニエスト外語学院 on judo.

At 6:26, the judoka remarked how his opponent ボビー could win him just by his horrid face, saying 「顔で一本取られた」って感じです.

I am interested in understanding why the 助数詞 本 was used in the expression, especially when it is used for small, long things.I am interested in understanding why the 助数詞 本 was used in the expression, especially when it is used for small, long things. I looked up 一本取る in ディジタル大辞泉 , which gives the definition 柔道・剣道などで、完全に技が一つ決まること。 So I believe 一本 here houses the meaning 'in one go/shot/try', though I am not completely sure.

Are there other interesting uses of these 助数詞 in specific expressions?
