Section 6: Scoring
Goal scored (Law 10, Section 1). A goal is scored when the whole of the ball passes over the goal line, between the goalposts and under the crossbar, provided no offence has been committed by the scoring team. If a defending player moves or overturns their own goal and the ball would otherwise have entered it between the normal position of the posts and under the normal height of the crossbar, the goal is awarded.
Winning team (Law 10, Section 2). The team scoring the greater number of goals during the match wins; if both teams score an equal number, or no goals are scored, the match is drawn. Where competition rules require a winner after a drawn match, the permitted procedures — used singly or in combination — are the away-goals rule, two equal periods of extra time of no more than five minutes each, and penalties (a penalty shoot-out).
Penalties/penalty shoot-out (Law 10, Section 3). Penalties are taken after the match has ended and are not part of the match itself. Subject to conditions on numerical equality between the two squads, both teams take five kicks, alternately, with a different kicker required for each of the five before any player may take a second kick. If the outcome is not decided after five kicks each, kicks continue in sudden-death rounds — one kick per team per round — until one team has scored one more goal than the other from the same number of kicks. A player sent off during the match is not permitted to take part in the shoot-out.
