How the semi finals work

The semifinals, like the previous knockout rounds, will be single elimination, with a winner determined after each match.

If the teams are tied after 90 minutes of regulation, they will be given 30 minutes of extra time to decide a winner. The extra time session is not the end of the world. (In other words, it’s not a ‘next-goal-win’ or ‘golden goal’ situation.)

How penalty shootout works

If the teams are still tied after extra time, the game will be decided by a penalty shootout, in which each team takes turns attempting to score from the penalty spot. After five attempts, the team with the most successful conversions is declared the winner. If the teams are still tied after five kicks, an extra round will be added until the deadlock is broken.

World Cup semifinal history.
