       DETERMINING THE OUTCOME OF THE MATCH
       1. Goal scored
       A goal is scored when the whole of the ball passes over the goal
       line, between the goalposts and under the crossbar,
       provided that no offence has been committed by the team scoring
       the goal.
       If the goalkeeper throws the ball directly into the opponents’
       goal, a goal kick is awarded.
       If a referee signals a goal before the ball has passed wholly
       over the goal line, play is restarted with a dropped ball.

       2. Winning team
       The team scoring the greater number of goals is the winner.
       If both teams score no goals or an equal number of goals the
       match is drawn.
       When competition rules require a winning team after a drawn
       match or home-and-away tie,
       the only permitted procedures to determine the winning team are:
       away goals rule
       two equal periods of extra time not exceeding 15 minutes each
       penalties (penalty shoot-out)
       A combination of the above procedures may be used
       3. Penalties (penalty shoot-out)
       Penalties (penalty shoot-out) are taken after the match has
       ended and unless otherwise stated, the relevant Laws of the Game
       apply.
       A player who has been sent off during the match is not permitted
       to take part;
       warnings and cautions issued to players and team officials
       during the match are not carried forward into penalties (penalty
       shoot-out).
       PROCEDURE
       BEFORE PENALTIES (PENALTY SHOOT-OUT) START
       Unless there are other considerations (e.g. ground conditions,
       safety etc.),
       the referee tosses a coin to decide the goal at which the kicks
       will be taken which may only be
       changed for safety reasons or if the goal or playing surface
       becomes unusable
       The referee tosses a coin again and the team that wins the toss
       decides whether to take the first or second kick
       With the exception of a substitute for a goalkeeper who is
       unable to continue, only players who are on the field of play
       or are temporarily off the field of play (injury, adjusting
       equipment etc.) at the end of the match are eligible to take
       kicks
       Each team is responsible for selecting from the eligible players
       the order in which they will take the kicks.
       The referee is not informed of the order
       If at the end of the match and before or during the kicks one
       team has a greater number of players than its opponents,
       it must reduce its numbers to the same number as its opponents
       and the referee must be informed of the name and number of each
       player excluded.
       Any excluded player is not eligible to take part in the kicks
       (except as outlined below)
       A goalkeeper who is unable to continue before or during the
       kicks may be replaced by a player excluded to equalise
       the number of players or, if their team has not used its maximum
       permitted number of substitutes,
       a named substitute, but the replaced goalkeeper takes no further
       part and may not take a kick
       If a goalkeeper has already taken a kick, the replacement may
       not take a kick until the next round of kicks
       DURING PENALTIES (PENALTY SHOOT-OUT)
       Only eligible players and match officials are permitted to
       remain on the field of play
       All eligible players, except the player taking the kick and the
       two goalkeepers, must remain within the centre circle
       The goalkeeper of the kicker must remain on the field of play,
       outside the penalty area,
       on the goal line where it meets the penalty area boundary line
       An eligible player may change places with the goalkeeper
       The kick is completed when the ball stops moving, goes out of
       play or the referee stops play for any offence;
       the kicker may not play the ball a second time
       The referee keeps a record of the kicks
       If the goalkeeper commits an offence and, as a result, the kick
       is retaken,
       the goalkeeper is warned for the first offence and cautioned for
       any subsequent offence(s)
       If the kicker is penalised for an offence committed after the
       referee has signalled for the kick to be taken,
       that kick is recorded as missed and the kicker is cautioned
       If both the goalkeeper and the kicker commit an offence at the
       same time, the kick is recorded as missed and the kicker
       cautioned
       SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS EXPLAINED BELOW, BOTH TEAMS TAKE FIVE
       KICKS
       The kicks are taken alternately by the teams
       Each kick is taken by a different player, and all eligible
       players must take a kick before any player can take a second
       kick
       If, before both teams have taken five kicks, one has scored more
       goals than the other could score,
       even if it were to complete its five kicks, no more kicks are
       taken
       If, after both teams have taken five kicks, the scores are
       level,
       kicks continue until one team has scored a goal more than the
       other from the same number of kicks
       The above principle continues for any subsequent sequence of
       kicks but a team may change the order of kickers
       Penalties (penalty shoot-out) must not be delayed for a player
       who leaves the field of play.
       The player’s kick will be forfeited (not scored) if the player
       does not return in time to take a kick
       SUBSTITUTIONS AND SENDING-OFFS DURING PENALTIES (PENALTY
       SHOOT-OUT)
       A player, substitute, substituted player or team official may be
       cautioned or sent off
       A goalkeeper who is sent off must be replaced by an eligible
       player
       A player other than the goalkeeper who is unable to continue may
       not be replaced
       The referee must not abandon the match if a team is reduced to
       fewer than seven players
