Copa America 2024 penalty kick and extra-time rules
In the knockout phase of the Copa America 2024, in the event of a tie after 90 minutes in the quarterfinals, semifinals and third-place match, kicks from the penalty spot will be used straight away to determine the winner of the match.
In the final, if the match ends tied in regulation time, an extra time period will be played with two halves of 15 minutes each.
That extra-time period will be played in its entirety, regardless of whether goals are scored or not. That is, in the Copa America 2024, there will be no “Golden Goal”.
If a tie persists after that period, the match will be decided through a penalty shootout, with an initial five spot-kicks per side, followed by sudden death kicks if necessary — where the first team to miss will be eliminated.
