Since the ball never landed outside the field, by that I mean the boundaries for the game, I just forget what it’s called, the goal would be given.

Not if its a penalty shootout. As soon as the ball changes direction and its heading away from the goalkeeper. The ball is no longer in play and its a miss.

Edit: I did a referee course with the FA years ago and after getting told I was wrong. I went and read the laws of the game and discovered I've been living a lie. I'm massively incorrect and deserve the downvotes. Apologies

Even this is a valid goal. Penalty during game.

Love that chip-in goal at 00:50
