Penalty shootout mechanics
Each contest is decided strictly through spot kicks without standard match play. When kicking, timing dictates both elevation and placement. Holding your click raises the trajectory toward the upper corners, but waiting too long risks sending the kick over the bar. Low shots stay closer to the turf and leave the goalkeeper less time to reach the corners.
Defending requires fast reflexes. An indicator flashes briefly inside the goal frame to signal where the incoming ball will travel. Diving too early or jumping toward the wrong height allows the striker to slip the ball past. Consistency across both halves of the round determines whether you advance through the bracket.
Tips and strategy
- Target the lower corners: Low strikes into the side netting give opposing goalkeepers the shortest reaction window.
- Avoid excessive hold times: Keeping your click held down for too long lofts the ball high above the crossbar, resulting in an automatic miss.
- Wait for the save indicator: Keep your attention centered on the goalmouth so you can register the flashing target before committing your dive.
- Anticipate mid-height shots: Not every kick aims for the top or bottom; adjust your jump height to intercept balls traveling across the center.
- Maintain focus on each round: Shootouts move quickly, and dropping a single attempt can immediately shift momentum to your opponent.
