Penalty Challenge: Online Penalty World Cup

About Penalty Challenge

Penalty Challenge is a penalty game in which you lead your national team through a world championship decided from the penalty spot. Each match is a penalty shootout of five kicks per team, and you alternate between shooting and standing between the posts as goalkeeper, just like in a real knockout match. If you want more soccer, there are plenty of other soccer games on Ludorex.

Winning matches unlocks the next round of the tournament, so the pressure keeps building until the final. At the bottom you'll see the shootout scoreboard with each goal in green and each miss in red.

The interesting thing is that shooting well isn't enough: you'll still lose a shootout if you don't save a single shot. That's why the game rewards whoever masters both roles: the cool-headed striker who picks the right corner and the goalkeeper who reads the ball's direction in time. Matches are short, perfect for a quick play session.

How do you play Penalty Challenge?

1. Choose your country and start the championship.
2. As the shooter, swipe from the ball towards the goal: the line you draw is the trajectory and the speed of the swipe sets the power.
3. As the goalkeeper, move the gloves to where you think the ball will go to stop it.
4. Whoever scores the most goals in the five shots wins and moves on to the next round.

Tips for playing better: Penalty Challenge

• Don't shoot with a sudden jerk: too much speed sends the ball over the crossbar. A firm but controlled swipe is more reliable.
• Aim for the bottom corners: they're the areas the goalkeeper struggles most to reach and where the ball won't fly too high.
• Vary the side of your shots; always going for the same corner makes your shot more predictable.
• As the goalkeeper, react to the ball's first movement instead of guessing beforehand; if you're late, keeping the gloves near the centre covers more shots than you'd think.
