Penalti. La grafía apropiada es penalti (en plural, penaltis) y no "penalty" (su forma en inglés); tampoco son válidos los plurales penalties ni penaltys. En la mayor parte de América se emplea la forma, igualmente válida, penal (plural, penales). 5, record 1, Spanish, - %C3%A1rea%20grande%20de%20f%C3%BAtbol
