The 2022 World Cup has reached the final stage and the chances that the onslaught will toughen into extra time, also known as overtime is likely.
In the event that France and Argentina go beyond the usual 90 minutes stoppage time, here are the rules.
Note that the first is that extra time is a full 30 minutes. Second: They’re split into periods of 15 minutes each (so if you see a whistle blown after 15, you’ll know why).
Third, and maybe the most noteworthy: There’s no “Golden Goal”. A game-winner that immediately ends the match when it’s scored. The full extra time is played to the end even when one side scores.
Finally, If there’s a tie after those 30 minutes (plus stoppage time), we go into penalty shoot outs: Five rounds of teams taking turns taking penalty kicks against opposing goalkeepers.
If there’s a tie after that? It goes to sudden death, with each team getting a try. If one player scores and the other doesn’t, then, it is game over.
