Now when the two teams go head-to-head in Seville, the onus will be on Sweden to attack the Spanish for whom a draw will be enough to book their ticket to Qatar, although coach Luis Enrique insisted that Spain will not look to change their attacking style.
We know our rival may benefit if we go forward and look to win, but it would be a big mistake to renounce our style of play," he commented on Thursday's win. Spain rarely looked in trouble on Thursday as they bossed the ball for nearly all of the game, leaving keeper Unai Simon with little to do, although Unai was alert when he needed to rush out of his area to clear any counter-attacks.
Luis Enrique will have been delighted with another excellent performance from year-old Gavi, while Raul de Tomas looked dangerous on his international debut and central defenders Inigo Martinez and Aymeric Laporte looked rock solid at the back. Each point earned throughout the season is added to the overall tally of points that the team has earned and will be combined to see where they end up in the league table at the end of the competition. Although both teams would have preferred to have won the game and received 3 points for their team rather than 1, they will take the point they have and begin to look forward to their next game.
These tournaments start with a group stage, or mini-league, where each team will play the other teams, and the two teams with the most points will move onto the next round. This definition is most often used outside of North America, but you may hear it used occasionally. It has the same meaning as a tie. The second option for what happens when a soccer game ends in a tie is for the game to continue until one team has won.
In tournament soccer, such as at the FIFA World Cup, if a game ends in a tie the teams will play two extra minute periods of overtime to decide the winner.
If the score is still tied after overtime, the teams will begin a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner of the game. The only way to break a tie in soccer is to keep playing until the scores are no longer tied and one team has scored more goals than the opposition at the moment the referee ends the game. This option will only come into effect in a tournament competition where a winner needs to be established before the game ends.
The winner of the game progresses to the next round of games, where they will play the winning team from another game. These single-game elimination rounds continue until only one team is left. In these games, when a game ends in a tie, the teams will begin playing overtime. To find out much more about overtime, click here to go to my article all about it, but basically, overtime is two 15 minute periods of extra playing time added to the end of a game.
These periods of extra time give each team an extra 30 minutes to score another goal and potentially win the game. At the end of this time, if one team has scored more goals and is ahead of the other team on goals scored, then they will be declared the winners of the game. However, if the game is still tied at this point, then the game will move onto a series of penalty kicks.
Initially, each team has 5 chances to take a shot and score. If one team has scored more goals than the other team at this point, then they are declared the winner of the game.
If the score is still tied at this point, then the penalty kicks will continue until one team has scored more. Although the winner is usually determined after the initial round of 5 penalty kicks, a penalty shootout has been known to carry on for up to 48 kicks! Brazil were the first South American qualifier.
