Penalty Shooters

Pick a team and fight through a tournament, taking turns as shooter and goalkeeper.

About Penalty Shooters

Penalty Shooters turns the most tense moment in football into a tournament. You pick a team, then take turns shooting and keeping goal as you work your way through the rounds. It is played with a click or a tap, so you can start straight away on any device.

Being good at it means handling both jobs. Shooting takes accuracy, while keeping takes reading your opponent, and a shootout can turn on one save.

How to play

  1. Choose your team.
  2. Take your shot with a mouse click or a tap, aiming at the part of the goal you want to hit.
  3. Swap to goalkeeper and try to stop your opponent's shot.
  4. Keep alternating until one side wins the shootout.
  5. Win to move on to the next round of the tournament.

These are the usual rules. If the game shows you something different on screen, follow the game.

Tips

  • Choose your corner before you shoot. Changing your mind at the last moment ruins accuracy.
  • Low corners are hard for keepers to reach, and they do not risk going over the bar.
  • Mix up your direction. If you shoot left three times, expect the keeper to notice.
  • As keeper, watch for patterns rather than guessing at random.
