A penalty shootout is a method of determining a winner in sports matches which would have otherwise been drawn or tied. The rules for penalty shootouts vary between sports and even different competitions, however the usual form is similar to penalty shots, in that a single player takes one shot on goal from a specified spot, with the only defender being the goalkeeper. Team's take turns, with five shots each, the winner being the one with the most number of successful goals. If the result is still tied, it reverts to "goal-for-goal", that is each team takes a shot, and the winner being the one to score a goal that is unmatched by the other team. This may continue until every player has taken a shot. If there is still no result the match may be declared a draw, or the winner may be declared by a random method such as flipping a coin. ...more on Wikipedia about "Penalty shootout"
