FIFA is studying the cancellation of the second opportunity in a penalty shootout

The International Football Federation is discussing the possibility of adjusting the rules for implementing the penalty kicks, so that the attackers are prevented from exploiting the counterattacks from the goalkeeper, similar to what is happening in the penalty shootout after the additional time.

Pierreyji Culina, head of the Referees Committee in FIFA, stressed that this proposal is under study, noting that 75% of the penalty kicks are already recorded, while allowing the follow -up of the counter -ball is an unfair matter for goalkeepers.

In his interview with the Italian journalist "La Ribbolika", Colina explained that the idea depends on the principle of one opportunity, where he said: "In the penalty shootout, either the ball is recorded or the play is resumed with a goal kick, and this amendment can reduce the controversy over the counted balls after addressing she has.

On the other hand, Colina defended the auxiliary video technology despite criticism, especially with regard to the definition of infiltration with the accuracy of millimeters, considering that technology gives more accurate decisions despite the controversy that it may raise.

FIFA continues to study these proposals with the aim of improving arbitration and achieving greater justice in matches, amid widespread anticipation of any changes that may affect the method of implementing penalty kicks in the future.
