How to play Penalty Shootout

  1. Press Start. You take the first kick.
  2. Point at the goal (or move the target with the arrow keys) and press to lock your aim.
  3. Press again as the power meter swings: the green band is strong and accurate; too hard and the ball may fly wide or over.
  4. When they shoot, tap the part of the goal you'll dive to, or use the arrow keys, before the kick. Watch the kicker's run-up for a clue.
  5. Most goals after five kicks each wins; level means sudden death. Beat a team to unlock the next.

Frequently asked questions

How does a shootout work?
Each side takes five kicks, one at a time. If one side can no longer be caught it ends early. If it's level after five, it goes to sudden death: one kick each until one scores and the other doesn't.
How do I save a penalty?
Choose a part of the goal before the kick. If the ball goes near where you dive, you stop it; if you guess wrong, it's a goal. Weaker kickers often lean the way they're about to shoot.
Why did my shot miss the goal?
Hitting it at full power is fast, but less accurate. Aiming tight into a corner with too much power can send it wide or off the post.
Can I play on a phone?
Yes. Drag your finger over the goal to aim and lift it to lock, then tap anywhere to strike. When keeping, tap where you want to dive.
Is my progress saved?
Yes, the teams you've unlocked are kept in this browser on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Is Penalty Shootout free?
Yes. It's free to use, with no sign-up and nothing to install.
