Therefore the team awarded the penalty must capitalise on the opportunity.  There are several excellent tips that a penalty taker should use when taking a penalty.

There are two types of penalty takers “blasters” and “placers”.   Blasters aim to beat the keepers with a forceful strike that speeds past the keeper giving him virtually no time to react. This type of shot is played with the instep.  The disadvantage here is that direction is more difficult to control and can often result in scooping the ball over the cross bar or pulling / pushing it wide of the target.
