Question

Explain the procedure of penalty kick during the game.

Answer 1

A penalty kick is awarded against a team that commits one of the 10 offences (which are also included in the direct free kick) within its own penalty area while the ball is in play. A penalty kick may be taken at the end of each half or during extra time. A goal can be scored directly from a penalty kick.

The procedure of penalty kick is as follows:

1. After the players have taken their positions in line with the law, the referee signals for the penalty kick.
2. The player taking the penalty must kick the ball forward.
3. He must not play the ball again until it has been touched by another player.
4. When a ball is kicked and moved forward, it is considered in play.
