The said query in SQL that retrieves the match number, country name, and player name from the penalty_shootout table, player_mast table, and soccer_country table respectively, for the kick with kick_id 26.
The JOIN statements joins the penalty_shootout table aliased as "a", and the player_mast table aliased as "b" based on the player_id column, and then join the result with the soccer_country table aliased as "c" based on the team_id and country_id columns.
The WHERE clause filters the results to only include rows where the kick_id column is equal to 26.
