Yes—penalties do carry over within the match , but not as a general tournament-wide tally. A penalty kick in the World Cup is either a one-off kick during the match, or part of a shootout after extra time if the game is still tied.

How penalties work

  • During regular play, a penalty is awarded for a foul inside the box, and it is taken immediately.
  • In a knockout match, if the score is still tied after 90 minutes plus 30 minutes of extra time, the game goes to a penalty shootout.
  • Each team normally takes five kicks, alternating turns, and if it is still tied, the shootout goes to sudden death.

Do they carry over?

  • A missed or scored penalty does not carry over to the next match as a “team penalty record.” Each match starts fresh.
  • Disciplinary consequences can carry over for players in some cases, especially red cards, but that is different from the penalty kick itself.
  • In a shootout, only the kicks in that shootout matter; the result is decided there and then.

Simple example

If a team gets a penalty in the 20th minute and scores, that goal counts only for that match. If the match later ends level and goes to penalties, the shootout starts from zero for both teams.

TL;DR

Penalties do not carry over between World Cup matches. They only matter in the match where they happen, while shootout kicks are reset for that one tiebreak.
