Penalty Shoot-out (association Football)
A penalty shoot-out, referred to as kicks from the penalty mark in the Laws of the Game, is a method used in association football (soccer) to decide which team progresses to the next stage of a tournament (or wins the tournament) following a tied game. Kicks during a shoot-out are governed by different laws from a penalty kick, which is part of normal play during a match, but shoot-out kicks do follow a similar procedure and are popularly referred to as "penalties" or "PKs".

Famous quotes containing the word penalty:
“No: until I want the protection of Massachusetts to be extended to me in some distant Southern port, where my liberty is endangered, or until I am bent solely on building up an estate at home by peaceful enterprise, I can afford to refuse allegiance to Massachusetts, and her right to my property and life. It costs me less in every sense to incur the penalty of disobedience to the State than it would to obey. I should feel as if I were worth less in that case.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
