How to play Penalty Shootout
Read the aim of Penalty Shootout, then make your first move. Score at least three of five penalties. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Take five penalty kicks in a solo shooting challenge.
Build a steady rhythm
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 goal
Score at least three of five penalties. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Step by step
- Aim inside the goal.
- Shoot away from the moving keeper.
- A save or outside shot misses.
- Finish all five.
Controls
Pointer/touch, aim buttons and Shoot. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
