What are the penalty kick shootout rules for World Cup 2023 tiebreakers in elimination rounds?

You know the rules by now of how tiebreakers work at the 2023 World Cup, and that it’s different in the elimination stage.

There are two 15-minute periods of extra time to break a tied game since knockout games 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.
