hacer penalty

[KEPS]

Hola a todos,

Me gustaría saber cómo se dice en inglés cuando alguno de los futbolistas hace penalty. He commited a penalty?, he did/made penalty ?.


Thanks for the help

You can't commit (or make or do) a penalty. A penalty (kick) is awarded by the referee as a response to a foul committed in particular circumstances.

"The defender committed a foul in the (penalty) area and the ref(eree) awarded/gave (the other team) a penalty."
"..................................................................... and gave away a penalty."

What you do say is "That was a penalty!" by which you mean 'that was a foul that deserved to be sanctioned with a penalty (because of its severity or because of where it occurred)'.

"X famously gave away a penalty in the last minutes of.................... which meant that................"
