A Correct answer
Explanation

The statement is True. In penalty shootouts, if the ball rebounds off the goalkeeper, post, or crossbar and remains in play, the kicker who took the penalty can score by playing the ball again. This is because the ball is still live and has not left the field of play. The same applies if it rebounds to another player who is in an onside position.
