Euro 2024 penalties rules
If a winner fails to emerge from the period of extra time, then the tie will go to a nail-biting penalty shootout.
Players from the each team will take penalties in turns until there's a winner.
If the scores are level after five spot kicks each, the shootout will go to sudden death. At that point, if one team misses followed by the opposition scoring - or vice versa - then it will be over.
Penalties can be taken by any player that finished the game, including goalkeepers, meaning unused substitutes cannot take part.
The referee can order a retake if a 'keeper is deemed to have come off their goal line before the penalty is taken.
