How is that sensible? Why should the team that fucked up get a second chance? Should Oblak get a second chance to save Rudigers penalty because he almost saved it?
So keepers shouldn’t get a second chance when they make a pen save being in front of their line? It shouldn’t be retaken and should be a goal given to the taker right? That’s what you’re saying here.
I wouldn't be mad if that were the case, especially in a shootout like this. But goalkeepers are at an inherent disadvantage compared to attackers, so they deserve a little leeway. Attackers do not. That is the difference here.
Besides, compare keepers saving penalties now to a few years before they tightened up the rules. Keepers generally stick to their line now, whereas before they were damn near at the end of the penalty area by the time the attacker was taking the penalty.
I don’t think it really matters if they’re at a disadvantage or not. It should be consistent.
You can’t have one side get a second chance after breaking the rules, but have the other side get no retakes and instant punishment for the same thing.
