"Penal" in Spanish is the same as "penal" in English. It is an adjective describing a system of justice. It refers to a penal code or penality.
Since you heard this word during the World Cup series the announcer must have been referring to a penalty kick or a penality card being thrown because of an infraction in the rules.

In football (soccer) it's "penalties". In Law, it's a form of "penal", as in "Penal Code". Only that "penales" would be used next to a plural noun.
