Question Number: 16366Law 14 - Penalty kick 8/19/2007RE: Rec Under 15 Alexander of Kursk, Russia asks...Is it legal to do a fake shot on a PK?
May the penalty taker stop his moving towards the ball on PK?
Thanks! Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol It is legal to feint. It is not legal to run past the ball and come back, or to come to a complete stop.

View Referee Gary Voshol profileAnswer provided by Referee Michelle Maloney A kicker on a PK runs a huge risk if he stops on his run to the ball. If the referee believes the player is behaving in an unsporting manner, beyond the kind of play normally practiced on the field where one player tries to fool another so he can get by him, then the referee may stop the PK, and give a caution for unsporting behavior. The PK will then continue, with a kicker taking the kick (if the original kicker finds this was his second caution, he is red carded, and sent off; if the team wishes for a different kicker to take the second try, they must so inform the referee). If the referee is unable to stop the PK in time, and it is kicked, if it does not go in the goal, the restart will be an indirect free kick for the defense, on top of the caution to the kicker. If it goes in the goal, there will be a retake of the penalty kick, after the caution to the kicker.
