Penalty shoot-out in Soccer. Competition used to decide the winning team if the scores are still level after extra time. The teams take five penalty kicks each, with a different player required to take each one. The team that scores the highest number of penalties wins the shoot-out and the match. If both teams score an equal number, then the competition enters a sudden-death phase in which the first team to miss loses the match.
