Penalty Shootout '85

Step Up to the Spot
It's 1985. The stadium lights are blazing. Thousands of fans are on their feet. The ball sits perfectly on the penalty spot, waiting. And standing between you and glory? A goalkeeper inspired by one of the greatest to ever guard the net.
Penalty Shootout '85 strips soccer down to its most thrilling moment: you, the ball, and the keeper. Just pure, arcade-style penalty fun that you can play in 60 seconds or 60 minutes.

Face a Legendary Keeper

Your opponent isn't some generic digital goalkeeper. He's inspired by Ubaldo Fillol - the Argentine goalkeeping legend who helped his country win the 1978 World Cup. Known for his incredible reflexes, positioning, and ability to read shooters, Fillol was a wall between the posts.
