Yes guys, this is your golden opportunity to wow the ladies with your sports knowledge.....
Den begehrten Cup holten sich die Spieler der X, die die Mannschaft der Y im Elfmeterschießen besiegten
What is the current (UK) English term for Elfmeterschiessen? My dictionaries all say "penalty" for "Elfmeter" but, well, that just doesn't sound right to me...

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Many thanks to everyone for their help! I was impressed that the "gals" threw in their two cents worth, too, Elvira!
It was a struggle for me to decide who should get the points, Ian or Nick. I have decided to award the points to Ian because of the huge, long list of agrees (nothing like facing the wrath of 50 mad Prozies), but I understand your version may be better suited to the sentence, Nick. Thanks again,
Rebecca"

penalty shoot-out
oder auch penalty shootout, which takes place after 120 minutes, given that there is no winning team. A single Elfmeter is indeed a penalty or a penalty kick.

Steffen Walter
: That would be a single shot, which is indeed a penalty or penalty kick, as Sven put it, whereas an Elfmeterschießen is a series of penalties.

Cilian O'Tuama
: einen Elfmeter schießen is 'to take a penalty' but here they're referring to the shootout if a game is still drawn after extra time, involving 10 or more penalties.

"Since then, Germany have won 8 times plus twice on penalties against three
wins for England. England v Germany - a rivalry of two halves. ..."
Lots of experience of seeing England lose on penalties.......
