Penalty Kick
December 29, 2009 by Richard
A penalty kick is a type of free kick that is taken from twelve yards or around eleven meters out from goal and with the defending goal keeper of the other team between the goal and the penalty taker. Penalty kicks are done during normal play. Similar kicks are made in a penalty shootout in other tournaments to decide who advance after a drawn match. Although there is similarity in procedures, these are technically not penalty kicks and are regulated by somewhat different rules.
In reality, penalties are transformed to goals most of the time, even against the best goalkeepers. This indicates that penalty awards are often crucial, especially when the game is low scoring. A penalty kick is taken 12 yards from the goal or the penalty mark. The penalty kick taker, it does not mean that the player who was fouled should take the kick. But it must be identified by the referee clearly.
