Penalty shootout:

After 90 minutes of regular matches and 30 minutes of overtime, the outcome was decided by a round of mutual shooting. Before penalty shoot-out, the two sides decided the players to take the penalty and the order of appearance. It is usually decided by guessing coins which side will take the penalty first. After the game started, both sides took turns to make free throws and fined five rounds. After five rounds, the side with more accumulated goals wins.

If the outcome is still undecided at the end of five rounds of free throws, the "sudden death method" is adopted to increase the punishment: that is, both sides continue to punish each other until one side punishes at the end of a certain round, and the other side does not punish, and then the penalized party wins. During this period, only when all 1 1 players of a team are punished once in turn can the players who have been punished be arranged to start taking turns to make free throws again.

The side with a large number of people needs to send as many people as the side with a small number of people to make free throws, that is, if only 10 people are sent off, then the side with a large number of people can only play a penalty shootout with 10 people, but it must include a goalkeeper. If a player is sent off after scoring a goal, the penalty is valid. If the penalty taker is sent off before the ball is judged by the referee, it is considered a penalty.

The rules of the penalty shootout are basically the same as those of the regular penalty shootout. The only difference is that it is not allowed to shoot again, that is, after the ball is kicked out, whether it touches other players or not, the penalty shooters are not allowed to touch the ball again, otherwise the goal will be considered invalid. Before the penalty kick, the referee must whistle to signal the start of the penalty kick. If the referee doesn't blow the whistle, the goal is invalid.
