Law 10: Determining the Outcome of the Match

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
