The new laws have come into place now and so there was a strange 'wall' in the world cup where the attacking team could not put players into the wall. But Australia have just scored from a saved penalty. I thought, once saved the ball was deemed out of play.

Was this a penalty shoot out or during normal time? Of course you can score from a saved pen if the ball comes back into play, but not in a penalty shoot out.

The only law changes for penalties is player treatment before a kick is taken and positioning of the goal keeper.

Penalties
The team’s penalty taker can have (quick) treatment/assessment and then take the kick.

The goalkeeper must not be touching the goalposts/crossbar/nets; they must not be moving.

The goalkeeper must have at least part of one foot on/in line with the goal line when the kick is taken; cannot stand behind the line.

What with the new laws and the application of VAR as shown in the England game means that there will be many controversial talking points postmatch. Having said that VAR was proved correct in that game, tight but correct.

It was in the original proposals, but didn't make it to the final new laws.
