Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to study the relationship between competition level, laterality of foot strike, and shot zone on penalty efficacy in professional penalty-taking specialist football players. A total of 642 penalty shots from the Spanish professional divisions (first, second, and third levels of competition) in the 2004-2005, 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 seasons were analyzed. A descriptive and correlational intra- and inter-group study design was used. The variables studied were: shot efficacy (goals, saves by the goalkeeper, hitting the goal post, and misses), foot used for strike, shot zone, and competition level. Descriptive and inferential analyses (Chi-Square Test and likelihood ratio) of the data were done. The following conclusions can be established from the results obtained: penalty takers obtain goals in seven out of ten shots; right-footed players tend to shoot more to the right of the goalkeeper and left-footed players shoot more to the left of the goalkeeper; both right-footed and left-footed players were more effective shooting to the right of the goalkeeper; higher shots had 10% more efficacy than lower shots; none of the shots to the high part of the goal were stopped by the goalkeeper; and at lower levels of competitions, there were fewer shots to the high part of the goal.
