How to play Penalty Shootout
Open Penalty Shootout, check the instructions and begin a round. Score at least three of five penalties. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Look at what changes after your first action.
Take five penalty kicks in a solo shooting challenge.
Read before acting
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Score at least three of five penalties. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
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. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
