A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Score at least three of five penalties. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Step by step
- Aim inside the goal.
- Shoot away from the moving keeper.
- A save or outside shot misses.
- Finish all five.
Controls
Pointer/touch, aim buttons and Shoot. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
