It is a direct free kick, or a penalty kick if a defender kicks an attacker in the defender's penalty area.
Free kicks are basically penalty kicks. There is one person on the team who lines up to kick into the goal. The only defender is the goalie, everybody else is out of the action.

Free kicks are not scored; they are awarded to the team that has been offended by a foul.
There are penalty kicks in soccer. A penalty kick is awarded when a defender commits a direct free kick offense while within his own penalty area.
Penalty kicks are awarded for any foul that would warrant a direct free kick that occurs inside the penalty box. This is done because when the play is close to the goal and a foul is committed in order to break up the scoring opportunity, the player/team fouled deserves another chance to score.

Three types of kicks in soccer are penalty kick, free kick, and corner kick. A penalty kick happens when a foul is committed in the penalty area, a free kick is awarded after a foul outside the penalty area, and a corner kick is given when the defending team plays the ball over their own goal line.
you have to score 6 free kicks to get the achievement
NO you cannot score from a free pass but you can shoot if it was a penalty pass or shot in the goal circle. A penalty pass or shot is given if a player contacts or obstructs a person in the circle.
At certain times during the game, such as the kickoff, penalty kicks, goal kicks, corner kicks, and free kicks, the referee must ensure that all opposing players are at least 10 yards away from the ball. In the case of penalty kicks and goal kicks, the referee must ensure that all opposing players are also outside of the penalty area where the kick is being taken. It is also important to note that the referee must ensure a 2 yard distance from the thrower on a throw-in.
It all depends on the referee on the day. One thing for certain is, the penalty must be retaken, and the player who took the penalty may get a yellow card. It is however very unlikely a player will take a penalty before the whistle. It is more common in free kicks. If a free kick is taken before the whistle is blown the free kick must be retaken and again the player may get a yellow card. You will notice before a free kick or penalty the referee will hold up his whistle and show it to the players and say wait for my whistle.
