In a penalty shootout, what happens if the score remains tied after all players have taken their shots?

In a penalty shootout, if the score remains tied after all players from both teams have taken their shots, the shootout progresses into a sudden death format. This means that each team will continue to take alternating kicks until one team scores and the other does not, resulting in one team winning the shootout. The sudden death format is intended to break the tie in a decisive manner, ensuring that one team is declared the winner without the need for a replay or drawing lots.

Options like sharing the win or replaying the match are not typical outcomes for a penalty shootout and do not align with the established rules governing such scenarios. Similarly, a referee's decision alone cannot resolve the outcome in this situation; the sudden death format allows for a fair and definitive conclusion based on the performance of the teams during the kicks.
