Ojalá la portera pare otro penalti.

Because ojalá triggers the subjunctive when you are expressing a wish or hope.

• para = present indicative of parar
• pare = present subjunctive of parar

So:

• La portera para otro penalti = The goalkeeper saves another penalty.
  (a statement of fact / description)
• Ojalá la portera pare otro penalti = I hope the goalkeeper saves another penalty.
  (a wish)

Ojalá means something like I hope, hopefully, or if only, depending on context. It expresses a wish.

In this sentence, it shows that the speaker wants something to happen in the future: the goalkeeper saving another penalty.

A very important grammar point is:

• Ojalá + subjunctive = wish/hope

So ojalá is the reason you get pare instead of para.

Because ojalá can be used with or without que.

Both are correct:

• Ojalá la portera pare otro penalti.
• Ojalá que la portera pare otro penalti.

The version without que is very common and natural. There is little or no difference in meaning here.

Yes. La portera is the feminine form, so it refers to a female goalkeeper.

• el portero = male goalkeeper
• la portera = female goalkeeper

In football context, portero/portera means goalkeeper.

Be aware that portero/portera can also mean doorman, concierge, or caretaker, depending on context. But with pare otro penalti, it is clearly about football.

Here, pare comes from parar, and in football it means to save or to stop a shot.

So parar un penalti means:

• to save a penalty
• literally, to stop a penalty

In football Spanish, parar is the normal verb for what a goalkeeper does.

Because otro normally does not take un/una before it in standard Spanish.

So you say:

• otro penalti = another penalty
• otra oportunidad = another opportunity

Not:

• un otro penalti ❌

This is different from English, where another already includes the idea of an + other.

Yes. In Spain, penalti is a very common word for penalty kick in football.

A few useful notes:

• el penalti = the penalty
• los penaltis = the penalties

It is a borrowed football term adapted to Spanish spelling. In everyday football Spanish in Spain, penalti sounds very natural.

Because the normal Spanish word order is:

• subject + verb + object

So:

• la portera = subject
• pare = verb
• otro penalti = object

That gives:

• Ojalá la portera pare otro penalti.

You could sometimes change word order for emphasis, but this version is the most straightforward and natural.

Because the speaker is making a wish about something that is still possible in the present or future.

• Ojalá la portera pare otro penalti.
  = I hope the goalkeeper saves another penalty.
  This sounds like a real possibility.

If you used the imperfect subjunctive:

• Ojalá la portera parara otro penalti.

that would usually sound more hypothetical, more remote, or tied to a less likely/impossible situation, depending on context.

So for a normal hope about an upcoming moment in a match, pare is the natural choice.

Yes, absolutely. That is also correct.

• Ojalá la portera pare otro penalti.
• Espero que la portera pare otro penalti.

Both express hope, but there is a slight difference in tone:

• ojalá often sounds a bit more emotional, heartfelt, or wishful
• espero que sounds a bit more neutral and direct

Both require the subjunctive here: pare.

It is pronounced roughly like oh-ha-LAH in Spain.

A few points:

• the j is the strong Spanish sound, like the ch in Scottish loch
• the final á is stressed: ojalá
• the written accent mark shows where the stress goes

So the stress is on the last syllable:

• o-ja-LÁ
