Extra time and penalty shootouts are concepts in football (soccer) that are used to determine a winner in certain situations when a match ends in a draw. These mechanisms are typically employed in knockout-style competitions, such as knockout rounds of tournaments or cup competitions, where a definitive result is required to determine which team advances to the next stage.

Extra Time: Extra time is an additional period of play that is added to the end of a match when the score is tied after the regular 90 minutes of play. The purpose of extra time is to provide an opportunity for both teams to break the deadlock and determine a winner. The additional playing time is usually 30 minutes, divided into two halves of 15 minutes each. The teams switch ends at the halfway mark.

Penalty Shootout: If the score remains tied after extra time, a penalty shootout is used to determine the winner. A penalty shootout involves a series of penalty kicks taken by a selected number of players from each team. The standard number of penalty kicks per team is five, but if the score remains tied after five kicks each, the shootout goes into a sudden death format, where teams take turns until one team scores and the other misses.
