The phrase
"spot kick" refers to a penalty kick in soccer or football. It is awarded to a team when a player from the opposing team commits a foul inside their own penalty area. The kick is taken from a designated spot, called the penalty spot, which is located 12 yards away from the goal line. The aim of the
spot kick is for the kicking team to score a goal by shooting the ball past the goalkeeper without any other players interfering.
