Actually, this is more like penalty kick shootout, or penalty shootout. - 点球大战

Football terms found in NCIKU:
Pitch = Qiu2chang3
Goalkeeper = Shou3men2yuan2
Offside = Yue4wei4
Corner kick = Jiao3qiu2
not sure about "throw-in" word as Fa2jie4wai4qiu2 and "penalty box" as Fa2qiu2qu1

Google translate has throw-in as "rēng zài", which I believe literally means "throw at". The only thing we can do is listen for these phrases during the game.
