Best Answer

When a player commits a foul in his own penalty area (the one surrounding the goal that he is protecting), such as pushing an opponent, a penalty kick is awarded to the attacking team, unless advantage is played. In some places, very young players do not use penalty kicks, such as U-8 games in the United States, and sometimes all free kicks are indirect.

If the offense was one of the Indirect Free Kick fouls, then it would be an Indirect Free Kick at the spot. (Or brought out to the top of the Goal Area if inside that.)

If the offense was one of the Direct Free Kick fouls, then an Penalty Kick would be awarded.

What is a penalty in English football?

A penalty is given when a player 'fouls' a player inside the 'box'. Then the player has a direct shot like a free kick. A penalty is also in play when after the usual 90 minutes and extra time (30 minutes), players arrange for a penalty shootout. Hope this helps.
