A penalty kick (also known as a penalty or a spot-kick) is a rule-control process of restarting play in football, in which a football player is permitted to take to take a single shot aim at the goal while an opposing goalkeeper is expected to defend the ball from going through the goal’s line.

Penalty Procedures
The ball must be placed on the penalty mark and the goalposts, crossbar, and goal net are also expected to be stationary.
The penalty taker must be clearly identified.
The opposing goalkeeper is expected to defend the ball while remaining on the goal line, facing the kicker, between the goalposts, and he is expected not to touch the goalposts, crossbar or goal net, until the player taking the kick plays the ball. According to the association Law, the players other than the kicker and goalkeeper must be:
- at least 9.15 m (10 yds) from the penalty line
- HE must be behind the penalty mark
- He must be inside the field of play
- He must be outside the penalty area
- Most Penalties Scored without Missing
