A penalty kick is awarded when a foul is committed inside the penalty area, and it involves a direct shot on goal from the penalty spot, with only the goalkeeper to beat. In contrast, a free kick is awarded for fouls that occur outside the penalty area, and it allows the attacking team to take a shot or make a play without opposition interference, though defenders must maintain a minimum distance from the ball.
