What Wikipedia says

In association football, a penalty shoot-out (previously known as kicks from the penalty mark and colloquially known as penalties) is a tie-breaking method to determine which team is awarded victory in a match that cannot end in a draw, when the score is tied after the normal time as well as extra time (if used) has expired.
