Soccer is a very exciting game that often comes down to the
wire in the last minutes of play. But what if there is no winner at the end of
the game? What happens if there is in fact a tied score? The rules of soccer
take the possibility of a tie game into account

situation.
A standard soccer match is made up of 90 minutes of playing
time. This time is broken up into two 45-minute periods of play. If, at the end
of this time period, the score is tied, there are two options the officials can
take. One is to end the game, and allow the game to be called a draw. However,
this does not work for all games. Tournament games

Saunders Womens Jersey , such as the World Cup, require that there
be one clear-cut winner. The second option for the referee to take in that case
is to call for a tie breaker.
A tie breaker in a soccer game is
accomplished using one of three methods. The first method of breaking the tie is
simply to play extra time. The game will generally continue for another 30
minutes of play, which is split up into two 15-minute time periods. If, at the
end of this extra time, one team is ahead, then that team will be declared the
winner of the game. All goals scored during the extra play period will count as
part of the final score of the game. However

the extra time play, the referee must turn to the second tie breaking
method.
The second tie breaking method in soccer is known as a penalty
shoot-out. In a penalty shoot-out, each team selects five players to represent
them. These ten players will then attempt penalty kicks, alternating between the
teams. If, at the end of these ten penalty kick attempts, one team is finally
ahead

game. The successful penalty kicks will not be added to the final score of the
game. However, there are occasions when the players from each team will
successfully make the same number of penalty kicks during this round. The game
will still be considered to be a tie game, should this occur. In this case,
there is one final tie breaking method at the referee's disposal.
