Nerves running high: Shooters fail to execute 11-meter shots

The article discusses the performance of penalty takers during the first two matches decided by shootouts at the FIFA World Cup. It notes that players did not perform exceptionally well, utilizing only about half of their shots effectively. Jonathan Tah of Germany was among the unsuccessful shooters, having his goal disallowed in extra time and missing a crucial penalty in the sixth round. The piece highlights historical data showing that the lowest accuracy rate in World Cup history occurred during the match between Paraguay and Germany, where 12 goals were scored but only 10 shots were successful, resulting in a 54.5% success rate. This marks the lowest efficiency recorded in World Cup history. The article also predicts that the number of matches decided by penalties will likely increase due to the double elimination format, potentially setting a new record.
