Drawn knock out matches - Deciding a Victor

In the event of a match ending in a draw at full time a period of extra time is normally played. At the end of this period the winning team is (in order of selection);

• The team who has scored the highest number of goals during extra time
• The team who has hit the opposition goals stanchion ("Woodwork") the most during extra time
• The team with the highest number of shots on target during extra time
• The team who has the highest number of corner kicks awarded during extra time

If the teams are still equal then the match is decided using the traditional penalty shoot out method.
