When does the World Cup penalty shootout start?

When a tie is drawn in the knockout round (the knockout system will be adopted in the top 16 stage), the penalty shootout begins.

The rules of the penalty kick are basically the same as those of regular penalty kicks. The only difference is that no follow-up shots are allowed. That is, after the ball is kicked out, no matter whether it touches other players or not, the kicker is not allowed to touch the ball again, otherwise it will be regarded as a penalty kick. Not valid for goal. Before a free throw, the referee must blow his whistle to indicate the start of the free throw. If the referee does not blow his whistle, the goal will be invalid.

In the penalty shootout, when the Japanese players missed two penalty kicks in a row, the Japanese players and coach protested that the turf near the penalty spot was too poor and actually asked to change sides and restart the penalty shootout! In the chaos, the Malaysian referee actually made the decision to change sides. Such a decision is very rare in the history of world football.

After changing sides, the Jordanian players missed four penalty kicks, and the Japanese team became the ultimate beneficiary.

After the two sides tied 1:1 in regular time, they entered a penalty shootout. In the penalty shootout, Lehmann became the hero of the Germans. He knew almost every Argentine player's penalty kicks.

It turns out that before the penalty shootout, the German goalkeeper coach handed Lehmann a piece of paper, which clearly stated the direction of each Argentine player's penalty kick. It was this note that allowed Germany to beat Argentina 4:2 on penalties.
