What happens if a penalty shootout ends in a tie?
If a penalty shootout ends in a tie, the rules for the specific competition or tournament will determine what happens next.
In some tournaments, such as the FIFA World Cup, the match will be decided by a sudden death format where each team takes turns taking one penalty kick each until one team scores and the other does not. This process continues until one team has scored more goals than the other after an equal number of kicks.
In other tournaments, such as the UEFA Champions League, if the score remains tied after the initial five kicks, the kicks will continue in the sudden death format until one team scores and the other does not.
In some competitions, like the Copa America, if the score remains tied after the initial five kicks, teams will take additional kicks until one team scores and the other does not.
It's worth noting that the rules may vary depending on the competition, tournament or league and they can change over time.
