Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Épreuve de penalties (il ne s'agit plus d'une pénalité, mais de la formule appliquée pour départager deux équipes dans le cas du match nul qui ne peut être rejoué) : cinq joueurs désignés dans chaque équipe sont groupés dans le rond central; les deux gardiens défendent à tour de rôle le but choisi par l'arbitre; chacun des dix tireurs s'avance en alternance au point de réparation, place le ballon et, au coup de sifflet, tire un coup de pied au but. Dès qu'une équipe a pris l'avance à la marque, à égalité des essais, l'arbitre interrompt la série des dix coups de pied au but; si elle se termine sur un score nul, il décide une autre série, jusqu'à la désignation du vainqueur. 10, record 1, French, - %C3%A9preuve%20des%20tirs%20au%20but

La tanda se rige por las siguientes normas: antes de empezar la tanda se vuelve a sortear quién empieza y en qué portería se van a lanzar los penaltis (todos en la misma). Cada equipo hace un tiro alternativamente, hasta un total de 5. Si en algún momento un equipo anota más goles de los que el otro podría anotar al agotar sus 5 tiros, se termina la tanda. 5, record 1, Spanish, - serie%20de%20penales

penalti: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que 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"). 6, record 1, Spanish, - serie%20de%20penales
