In soccer, penalty kicks are awarded when a player commits a foul inside the penalty area. The penalty kick is taken from a spot 12 yards away from the goal, with only the goalkeeper to beat. The player taking the penalty kick must kick the ball into the goal within a specified time frame. If the ball goes into the goal, a goal is awarded to the team taking the penalty kick.
