You know the rules by now of how tiebreakers work at the 2023 World Cup, and that it’s different in the elimination stage.
There are two 15-minute periods of extra time to break a tied game since knockout games can’t end with both teams having the same score.
After those two periods, if the game is still tied? We go to a penalty kicks shootout.
Here’s how that works:
1. Each team gets five players each to take a penalty shot to the opposing goaltender, with a each squad alternating attempts.
2. If one team outscores the other in all five of their shots, it wins.
3. If they’re STILL tied after that five-and-five back-and-forth, new players are chosen and we go to sudden death — first team to miss one after the other makes one loses.
Got it? Good.
