No, this is a common misunderstanding of the rules, especially when they are explained by another player who is also unfamiliar.
If the First shot at goal during a penalty corner is a hit (including sweeps) then it must enter the goal at the height of the backboard or lower unless it has been deflected by either an attacking or defending player including the goalkeeper; If the First Shot is a drag flick, scoop, the ball can enter the goal at any height... for second and subsequent shots, and for flicks or scoops, the ball may enter the goal at any height.
Note that hitting the backboard does not mean the ball entered at that height; during its flight, the ball drops, so unless it is a faster shot or hits lower down, it may have actually entered higher than permissible, and this should be watched for (especially when umpiring or defending one).
A goal may be scored directly from a corner kick.
No, it is against the rules to fake a penalty kick in order to deceive the goalkeeper and score a goal.
Corner kicks are set pieces in soccer where the ball is kicked from the corner of the field into the penalty area in front of the goal. They are awarded when the defending team last touches the ball before it goes out of bounds over the goal line. During a corner kick, the attacking team typically positions players in the penalty area to try to score a goal directly from the kick or from a subsequent play. The player taking the corner kick usually places the ball within the corner arc and kicks it into play using a bending motion to create opportunities for their teammates to score.
Yes, you can score on a corner kick in soccer by kicking the ball directly into the goal from the corner of the field.
Yes. You can score from anywhere on the field at any time except from a throw-in or an indirect free kick. Also, you cannot score an own-goal directly from a kick-off, goal kick, corner kick, free kick, or penalty kick.
To score a direct goal from a corner kick is very very rare, but it can be headed more easily.
You cannot score an own-goal directly from an indirect free kick or even a direct free kick. If the kick was taken from inside the kicker's penalty area and did not exit the penalty area before exiting the field, then the restart would be a rekick. If the kick was taken from outside kicker's penalty area or left the penalty area before exiting the field, then the restart would be a corner kick for the attacking team

During a corner kick, the attacking team places the ball inside the corner arc and a player kicks it into play, usually aiming for a teammate to score a goal with a header or a shot.

To execute a corner kick, a player from the attacking team places the ball inside the corner arc and kicks it into play, usually aiming for a teammate to score a goal with a header or a shot.
You place the ball on the penalty mark which is normally marked by a dot, and the penalty mark must be twelve yards from the midpoint of the goal line between the posts, and must be equidistant to both posts. The ball must be kicked in a forwards direction, although shooting is not compulsory. If you somehow managed to score an own goal from a penalty, it would not count, a corner would be given to the opposition instead. This is because it is not possible to score an own goal from a set piece.
