Editing 1974 FIFA World Cup (section)

==Knockout stage==
{{main|1974 FIFA World Cup knockout stage}}
The third place play-off was the first match in FIFA World Cup history in which a [[Penalty shoot-out (association football)|penalty shoot-out]] could potentially be held (in the event of the score being level after the regular 90 minutes and 30 minutes' extra time). If the teams remained tied in the final after extra time, a replay would be held. Only if the scores remained level during the replay after the regular 90 minutes and 30 minutes' extra time would penalties be used to determine the champion. At all previous World Cup tournaments, the drawing of lots had been foreseen in this situation to split the teams, but it was never used.
