Notice the feedback

Your goal
Score at least three of five penalties. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
