Good point, the taking of the penalty is effectively the restarting of the game after the foul.I see your point, however. The reason the ball goes dead after the kick in a shoot-out, is because the game has ended. In situations like yesterday, the game is still ongoing, so, just like with a throwing, corner or freekick, as soon as the ball is struck, it's on the field of play and is fair game for everyone.
