Should the referee extend time to complete the taking of a penalty kick?
A. …Yes. Law 7 explicitly requires that time be extended (at the end of the half, or the end of the game, or at the end of any overtime periods) for completion of the taking of a penalty kick. In no other circumstance is time to be extended unless the referee has added time in accordance with Law 7.
