In the game of soccer, one type of set-piece is feared above all others: the penalty kick. With just a single taker, 12 yards from the goal line, versus the goalkeeper, this is a test of skill as well as luck. It’s an opportunity for someone to be a hero – or a total talentless failure. It’s also a chance for goalkeepers to use their favourite distracting tactics, like arm-waving, hip-shaking, and illegally moving forward, without any real fear of being punished for it. Whose nerve will hold? With this kind of pressure on, it’s difficult to say! This game allows you to experience the thrill of the penalty from your browser – why not give it a try?
