### The Stadium and the Crowd

### The Match and the Goalkeeper

A football match is divided into halves. When the second half (**halvlegen**) begins, the pressure is on to score (**score**) a goal. First, however, the players must get the ball past a skilled goalkeeper (**målmanden**).

### Penalties and Kicks

Danish uses the root word *spark* (kick) to form several football terms. Depending on the play, the referee might award a free kick (**frisparket**), a corner kick (**hjørnesparket**), or a penalty kick (**straffesparket**). These are all neuter words, taking the *-et* suffix in their definite forms.
