when do world cup games go to penalty kicks
Penalty shoot-out (association football) A draw is a common result in football. Shoot-outs are only used in competitions that require a match-winner at the end of the game[1] – this is predominantly in knockout "cup" ties, as opposed to round-robin "leagues"; they decide which team progresses to the next round of a tournament, or win it. Usually extra time has been played first, but this is not necessary;[1] exceptions include the Copa Libertadores, Copa América (quarter-finals and semi-finals only), FA Community Shield and the Football League Trophy, all of which use shoot-outs straight after the end of normal time. Exceptionally, a shoot-out after a league or round-robin match may be provided for. This provision appears for occasions where opposing teams in a final-day match finish the group with identical records, which can result in an immediate shoot-out. This happened in Group A of the 2003 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship.[5] This rule is a recent innovation, and for example did not apply in Group F of the 1990 World Cup, where the Republic of Ireland and the Netherlands were separated by drawing of lots immediately after finishing their final-day match in a draw.[6]
2018 FIFA World Cup knockout stage In the knockout stage, if a match was level at the end of 90 minutes of normal playing time, extra time was played (two periods of 15 minutes each), where each team was allowed to make a fourth substitution.[3] If still tied after extra time, the match was decided by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winners.[2]

FIFA Confederations Cup The FIFA Confederations Cup is an international association football tournament for national teams, currently held every four years by FIFA. It is contested by the holders of each of the six (UEFA, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF, CAF, AFC, OFC) continental championships, along with the current FIFA World Cup holder and the host nation, to bring the number of teams up to eight. The tournament is also described as the Cup of Champions because it is contested by the Champions of each confederation and the world champions with the host.
