  Penalty shootout (football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Penalty shootouts (officially referred to as kicks from the penalty mark) are sometimes used to decide which team progresses to the next stage of a tournament following a tied result in a game of association football (soccer).
However, the Copa Libertadores has a penalty shootout immediately after the end of a two-legged tie that is level on aggregate, with no extra time played; since 2005, this only takes place if there is no winner on away goals.
Penalty shootouts have received criticisms that they do not provide a fair reflection of who the better side was during the match, and that some other method should be used to either encourage a non-tied result or to resolve a tied game in some other manner.
