Consider a one-time game involving a penalty kick in football/soccer. There are two players: kicker and goalkeeper. The kicker has two possible actions: kick left or right. The goalkeeper also has two possible actions: guess left or right. The kicker and goalkeeper move simultaneously. If the kicker and goalkeeper choose the same direction, the goalkeeper "wins" and the payoffs are (0,1). If the kicker and goalkeeper choose different directions, the kicker wins and the payoffs are (1,0). (a) Is there a pure strategy equilibrium in this game? Explain. (b) Derive and explain the mixed strategy equilibrium for this game.
