A total of 35 FIFA World Cup matches have been decided through penalties to date, including the 1994, 2006 and 2022 finals. The first World Cup final decided by a penalty shootout was at USA 1994 with Brazil and Italy facing off for the title.
Extra time
That changes in the knockout stages, where all matches must have a winner declared on the night. If a World Cup knockout game ends in a draw after 90 minute are played, extra time ensues. This comprises two periods of 15 minutes each with any relevant stoppage time added.
The group stage in its current form actually makes up most of the World Cup, comprising 48 of the 64 games. Within each group of four teams, it's a round-robin-style competition to finish in the top two spots based on points: three points are earned for a win, one for a draw, and zero for a loss.
Including penalty shootouts, there have been a total of 23 penalties taken at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar but only 14 have been scored, with a conversion rate of just 61 per cent from the spot so far.
The team with the most penalties scored after the first five takes wins the shootout. However, if one side has scored more successful penalties than the other could possibly reach with all of its remaining kicks, the shoot-out ends, regardless of the number of kicks remaining – this is called "best of five kicks".
In practice, penalty shootouts did not occur before 1982. Three times, in 1994, 2006, and 2022, the World Cup title has been decided by a penalty shoot-out. Of the 35 shoot-outs that have taken place in the competition, only two reached the sudden death stage after still being tied at the end of "best of five kicks".
South Korea vs Portugal: If South Korea wins
If South Korea wins and Ghana beats or draws against Uruguay, Ghana and the Koreans will get level on points and the team with a higher goal difference will follow Portugal into he round of 16.
Starting from the 1994 edition, FIFA introduced a tie-breaker system if two players were tied on the number of goals. According to it, if two or more players ended with the same number of goals, the player who has has scored the most in the open play and not from penalties wins the Golden Boot.
The Golden Boot is awarded to the individual player with the most goals scored in the tournament. In the case of a tie for goals scored, the number of assists by a player is then considered. If players are tied on both counts, the winner is decided by who played the fewest minutes.
World Cup overtime rules
FIFA's extra time rules are simple. If a match ends in a draw after 90 minutes – two halves of 45 minutes plus stoppage time (added time to compensate for time lost to injuries and other interruptions) – the game goes into extra time.
There is no sudden death: Both periods are played to their conclusion, regardless of how many goals are scored (or not). If the teams are still tied after extra time, they go to a penalty kick shootout. In that, a coin flip decides which side goes first.
According to the Golden Goal rule, any team who scores the first goal in their spare time wins the game. However, FIFA reverted the Golden Goal rule in 2006 to this current format. If the match results in a tie after the extra time, the result of the game is decided by the penalty shootout.
The tie-breaker system stated that if two or more players ended with the same number of goals, the player with more assists wins the award.
Rossi won it and remains the only player to win both the Golden Boot and Golden Ball in the same edition. Messi is in line to emulate him and also become the first player to win two Golden Ball awards. He was adjudged as the best player in the 2014 World Cup too.
This contrasts with a fixture won in extra time, where the score at the end of normal time is superseded. Converted shoot-out penalties are not considered as goals scored by a player for the purposes of their individual records, or for "golden boot" competitions.
No, it's brass alloy electroplated with gold. No association could afford a whole boot made of pure gold, it weighs about a kilo probably so it would be very expensive, and would be needed to be made every 4 years.
Kylian Mbappe's treble-clincher in the final secured him the Golden Boot ahead of Lionel Messi. Kylian Mbappe has won the adidas Golden Boot at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™.
Lionel Messi has won the award a record seven times, followed by Cristiano Ronaldo with five. Three players have won the award three times each: Johan Cruyff, Michel Platini, and Marco van Basten. With seven awards each, Dutch, German, Argentine, Portuguese and French players have won the most Ballons d'Or.
Giorgian de Arrascaeta scored twice as Uruguay beat Ghana 2-0 on Friday but it was not enough to keep them in the World Cup after South Korea pipped them to the Group H runners-up spot with victory over Portugal.
If England beat Senegal they will go into the quarter-finals in what will be game 59 of the tournament. Just like the round of 16, the game will be played at the Al Bayt stadium, at 7pm on Saturday 10 December.
The Portuguese superstar and his national side were eliminated on Saturday (10 December) in the quarter-finals at the FIFA World Cup 2022. Morocco shocked the 2016 European champion 1-0 and became the first African country ever to reach the World Cup semi-finals.
The golden goal was used in the FIFA World Cup for the last time in 2002, when Turkey defeated Senegal in the quarter-finals when İlhan Mansız scored what would be the final golden goal in male tournaments.
an overtime period in which a tied contest is won and play is stopped immediately after one of the contestants scores, as in football, or goes ahead, as in golf.
