Question

What is sudden death in football?

Answer 1

At the end of five penalties, if the score is still tied, sudden death occurs. If the teams are still tied after the initial allocated number in the penalty shoot-out, the game goes to sudden-death penalties, where each team takes a further penalty, repeated until only one team scores, resulting in the winning of the game. In sudden-death play ends as soon as one competitor is ahead of the others, with that competitor becoming the winner. Sudden death yields a victory for the contest without requiring a specific period of time.
