Elfmeter

About This Trend

Elfmeter is a German term that translates to penalty in English, referring to a method of restarting play in association football where a player is allowed to take a single shot at the goal while it is defended only by the opposing team's goalkeeper.

The term Elfmeter is currently trending due to recent discussions and applications of new rules regarding penalty kicks in football, specifically the handling of situations where a player accidentally touches the ball twice during a shot, which now may lead to a repetition of the penalty rather than it being considered a miss.
