What are the World Cup penalty kick shootout rules in the final if there’s a tie after extra time?

We’ve reached the 2023 World Cup Final, and that means the winner of the game takes the whole tournament.

But if the game is tied? We go to two 15-minute periods of extra time to break a tied game since the game 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.
