Football is known as the king of sports, so there will be many terms & rules of the game. If you are not a professional, it will be difficult to fully understand this sport. Many people have questions about the term golden goal. What is a golden goal? Today 10JILI will help everyone answer questions and update the latest football knowledge.
What is the golden goal?
In football matches that require a winner, if both teams cannot find a winner after 90 minutes, they will go into extra time with a relatively short time. During extra time, the team that scores the first goal will be the winner and the match ends immediately.
Not only does football have the golden goal, but other sports also have similar ways to determine the winner. The Golden Goal Rule was proposed in 1994 by FIFA. However, it was only in 2004 that this rule was abolished by the FIFA Football Federation due to many conflicting opinions.
Why remove the golden goal rule?
If two teams go to extra time to play but one team scores a golden goal too early and the match ends. Of course, the other team will lose, but there will be something worth mentioning when there is still time and the other team still has a chance to respond but has to accept defeat. This is unfair and many teams have sued to remove this rule.
One obstacle when applying the golden goal rule is that many complicated things happen. It is often necessary to manage the match to avoid unexpected incidents and ending the match will be very difficult.
