Importance of penalty kicks in football considering final outcome of the match and league system of competition

Based on 88 matches of 2014/2015 First Croatian football league we established the importance of penalty kicks considering the final outcome of the match and the competition. Using Mann- Whitney test and Pearson correlation coefficient we concluded that penalty kicks as situational efficacy indicators pose a statistically significant difference between the winning and the defeated team (p=0, 04), and there is a moderate negative relation to final placement in league system of competition (r=-0, 54). These results show that penalty kicks influence the outcome of the match, and if they are repeated, they have a negative effect on final placement.
