A practical guide to Penalty Shootout

Practice beyond the first move

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your objective

Score at least three of five penalties. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

The steps to play

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

How your actions work

Pointer/touch, aim buttons and Shoot. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

Learn from a sample situation

An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.

Check this before moving on

The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
