Sudden death in a hockey match: Everything you need to know | Hockey News


India unfortunately excluded from the title race World Hockey League was scripted on Sunday at the end of a choking penalty shootout in a friendly against New Zealand, which won 5-4 in sudden death.
To know what ‘sudden death’ means in a penalty shootout, let’s first understand the format of the penalty shootout and how it’s done.
A penalty shootout in hockey is required as a draw when the teams score an equal number of goals or no goals in a knockout match are scored where a winner needs to be declared. to continue in the tournament. Unlike football, hockey has no extra time if the 60-minute regulation game ends in a draw. The game immediately switches to a shootout.

Teams were asked to choose five players each and the order in which they would take turns five penalty shoot-outs. Before that, the penalty shootout in hockey used to resemble a penalty kick, in which the ball was held seven yards from the goal and the player pushed or tipped the ball, trying to beat the goalkeeper in the post. However, currently, according to the FIH regulations on outdoor competition:
one) goalkeeper/defensive player starts on or behind the goal line between the goalposts
b) The ball is placed on the nearest 23 meter line opposite the center of goal
c) An attacking player stands outside the 23 meters near the ball
D) The referee blows the whistle to start the time
e) An official at the technical desk started the clock
f) the attacker and the goalkeeper/defensive player can then move in any direction
g) The penalty shoot-out attempt is complete when (1) 8 seconds have elapsed since the start signal or (2) a goal has been scored or (3) the attacker or goalkeeper commits an unintentional foul during or out of the circle in which case a penalty kick is taken – a player replays a match against the same goalkeeper or (4) the goalkeeper commits a deliberate foul inside or outside the circle, in which case , a penalty kick will be taken and taken or (5) the ball is out of play over the goal line or goal line, including if the goalkeeper intentionally plays the ball over the goal line.

SUDDEN DEATH
If the above still does not determine the winner and the score is still equal after five penalty shootouts each, the game moves to a surprise shootout.
Everything remains the same in sudden death, except when one team takes a one-goal lead and the other side cannot equalize, the game is over. Like in the World Cup cross match between India and New Zealand on Sunday, Ginseng Lane scored to give NZ a 5-4 lead, but Shamsher Singh could not level it, and so New Zealand was declared the winner.
