List of FIFA World Cup penalty shoot-outs

This is a list of all penalty shoot-outs that have occurred in the Finals tournament of the FIFA World Cup.[1] Penalty shoot-outs were introduced as tie-breakers in the 1978 World Cup but did not occur before 1982. The first time a World Cup title was won by penalty shoot-out was in 1994.[2] The only other time was in 2006.[3] By the end of the 2018 edition, 30 shoot-outs have taken place in the World Cup. Of these, only two reached the sudden death stage after still being tied at the end of "best of five kicks".

The first editions of the World Cup used the rule of replaying a knockout game ending in a tie. Replacement of the rule of deciding a winner of a drawn game via drawing of lots was first proposed in 1970 to International Football Association Board,[4] and it was adopted by FIFA for the World Cup for the first time at the 1978 tournament.[5]

Penalty shoot-outs

2018 World Cup: Eric Dier scores the winning goal in England's first World Cup penalty shoot-out victory. The team had lost three times before.

By tournament

Before the introduction of penalty shoot-outs in 1978:

Of the 35 knock-out matches from 1930 to 1938, 31 were decided within at most 120 minutes, the remaining 4 matches – one in 1934 and three in 1938 – were decided by replays.
There were no knock-out matches in 1950.
All 42 knock-out matches from 1954 to 1974 were decided within at most 120 minutes, so no replays or drawing of lots were needed.
