Pro Penalty Shootout Masterclass

The Panenka Stutter Chip

Tap the chip button (L) with low power right as the keeper begins their diving ragdoll animation to gently float the ball over their flailing legs.

Upper 90 Top-Corner Aiming

Hold directional arrow toward the top corners while powering up shoot (J) for approximately 0.4 seconds. This beats diving keepers 90% of the time.

Reading Goalkeeper Micro-Shifts

Watch the opponent goalkeeper's wobbly stance right before kicking. If their body leans left, drill the ball hard to the right corner.

Diving Reflex Timing

When in goal, delay your dive until the ball leaves the striker's foot. Pre-diving leaves you prone to ragdoll wobble deflections.
