The free throw battle in the 2014 World Cup is unforgettable, and many classic duels show the players' psychology and skills.
During the knockout stage, the draw will be decided by penalty kicks after regular time and overtime. Each team sent five players to take the penalty, and those with more goals won.
If both sides score the same in the first five rounds, they enter the "sudden death" stage until the winner is decided. This mechanism increases the tension and uncertainty of the game.
During the penalty kick, the goalkeeper must always keep his feet on the goal line until the ball is kicked out. This rule ensures fairness of the game.
Brazil defeated Chile 3-2 in the 1/8 final and successfully advanced. The Brazilian goalkeeper performed well and saved a key penalty.
The Netherlands narrowly defeated Costa Rica 4-3 in the penalty shootout, showing extremely high psychological quality and shooting skills.
