 Penalty shootout (football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Penalty shootouts (officially referred to as kicks from the penalty mark) are a method sometimes used to decide which team progresses to the next stage of a tournament (or wins the tournament) following a draw in a game of association football.
Kicks during a shootout are governed by different rules from penalty kicks, which are part of normal play during a match.
In the event of a draw, current alternatives to penalty shootouts include replaying (where possible) a match that has ended in a tie (as still occurs in the quarter-finals and earlier rounds of the English FA Cup).

England also had a penalty kick shootout at a minor tournament, where it was used, under peculiar tournament rules, at the end of regulation time as a means of breaking points deadlocks in the tournament table.

 Penalty shootout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A penalty shootout is a method of determining a winner in sports matches which would have otherwise been drawn or tied.
The rules for penalty shootouts vary between sports and even different competitions; however, the usual form is similar to penalty shots, with a single player taking one shot on goal from a specified spot, the only defender being the goalkeeper.
A penalty shootout is usually used only in situations where a winner is needed (for example, a round where one team must be eliminated) and other methods such as extra time and sudden death have failed to determine a winner.
