Read before your next round of Penalty Shootout

Take a closer look while playing

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.

Your objective

Score at least three of five penalties. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.

The order of play

  1. Aim inside the goal.
  2. Shoot away from the moving keeper.
  3. A save or outside shot misses.
  4. Finish all five.

Choosing and moving on screen

Pointer/touch, aim buttons and Shoot. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

See the idea in action

An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.

An important reminder

The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
