Easy trick is to go into edit mode and change all the players in a team to have the worst possible skill ratings and the smallest height (like, 5'3" or whatever) and then player on easy and try shielding the ball near the penalty area with your back to goal. It took a few tries because my FK shooting ability is utter crap but I managed to score a 25 yard free kick and the pint-sized goalkeeper had no chance.
Alternatively, you could try this (last PES before they fixed it in PES2011)...... win a free kick about 20 yards out on the edge of the "D" and aim for the bottom corner, just inside the post, and instead of pressing the shoot button, hold down on the D-pad and the lob button (circle). You'll do a "grass cutter" shot and more often than not, the wall will jump over the ball, and the goalkeeper won't reach the ball before it goes into the goal.
BTW everyone else...... don't hire or buy this game unless you've already obtained the online mode trophies because the servers were switched off, so you can't get the Platinum from 0%. Unlike EA, Konami don't tell anyone it seems when they knock the servers down.
