Editing Golden goal (section)

===FIFA competitions===

The term ''golden goal'' was introduced by [[FIFA]] in 1993 along with the rule change because the alternative term, "[[sudden death (sport)|sudden death]]", was perceived to have negative connotations. In a knockout competition, following a draw, two fifteen-minute periods of [[Overtime (sports)#Association football|extra time]] are played. If either team [[Scoring in association football|scores a goal]] during extra time, the game ends immediately and the scoring team becomes the winner. The winning goal is known as the "golden goal". If there have been no goals scored after both periods of extra time, a [[Penalty shoot-out (association football)|penalty shoot-out]] decides the game. The golden goal was not compulsory, and individual competitions using extra time could choose whether to apply it during extra time. The first [[UEFA European Championship|European Championship]] played with the rule was in [[UEFA Euro 1996|1996]], as was the first [[MLS Cup]] [[1996 MLS Cup|that year]]; the first [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] played with the rule was in [[1998 FIFA World Cup|1998]].<ref name="FIFAChangeShootoutRule1994"/>

The first golden goal recorded was on 13 March 1993 by [[Australia national under-20 soccer team|Australia]] against [[Uruguay national under-20 football team|Uruguay]] in a quarter-final match of the [[1993 FIFA World Youth Championship|World Youth Championship]]. The first major tournament final to be decided by such a goal was the [[1995 Football League Trophy final|1995 Football League Trophy]], where [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] beat [[Carlisle United F.C.|Carlisle United]] 1–0, with a goal from [[Paul Tait (footballer, born 1971)|Paul Tait]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/frys-delight-as-carlisle-succumb-to-sudden-death-1616946.html|title=Fry's delight as Carlisle succumb to sudden death|date=24 April 1995|website=[[The Independent]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121104083519/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/frys-delight-as-carlisle-succumb-to-sudden-death-1616946.html|archive-date=4 November 2012|url-status=live}}</ref> followed by the [[UEFA Euro 1996 final|1996 European Championship final]], won by [[Germany national football team|Germany]] over the [[Czech Republic national football team|Czech Republic]]. The golden goal in this final was scored by [[Oliver Bierhoff]]. In MLS Cup 1996, [[Eddie Pope]] scored 3:25 into extra time as [[D.C. United]] beat the [[LA Galaxy]] 3–2. The first golden goal in World Cup history took place in [[1998 FIFA World Cup|1998]], as [[Laurent Blanc]] scored to enable [[France national football team|France]] to defeat [[Paraguay national football team|Paraguay]] in the round of 16.

In [[Barbados v Grenada (1994)|a qualification game]] for the [[1994 Caribbean Cup]], [[Barbados national football team|Barbados]] deliberately scored a late [[own goal]] in a successful attempt to qualify for the finals by forcing golden-goal extra time against [[Grenada national football team|Grenada]], as an unusual tournament rule stated that golden goals counted double in calculating goal difference. Needing a two-goal victory to qualify, Barbados found themselves 2–1 up with three minutes left of normal time. After the Barbadians scored an own goal to bring the scoreline level at 2–2, Grenada tried to score in either net while Barbados defended both goals for the final three minutes of normal time.<ref name="snopesowngoal">{{cite web|url=http://www.snopes.com/sports/soccer/barbados.asp|title=Football Follies|date=July 6, 2008|website=Snopes.com|access-date=2008-10-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211216023029/https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/football-follies/|archive-date=2021-12-16|url-status=live}}</ref> Barbados won the game in extra time and advanced to the next round.<ref>''The Barbadian'', January 3 2008, p5 </ref>

In 2000, France defeated Italy in extra time in the [[UEFA Euro 2000 final|2000 European Championship final]] when [[David Trezeguet]] scored a golden goal. France thus became the first holder of both the FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship since [[Germany national football team|West Germany]] in [[1974 FIFA World Cup|1974]].

Also in 2000, [[Galatasaray S.K. (football)|Galatasaray]] had a 2–1 victory over [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]] in the [[2000 UEFA Super Cup]] in [[Stade Louis II]]. The 90 minutes had produced a 1-1 draw and in extra time the Brazilian player [[Mário Jardel]] scored the golden goal and won the first ever UEFA Super Cup in club history.

The following year, [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] overcame [[Deportivo Alavés]] in the [[2001 UEFA Cup final|UEFA Cup final]] with a golden [[own goal]] by [[Delfí Geli]] to make the score 5–4 to Liverpool.

The [[UEFA Champions League]] is one of few tournaments not to have been settled by a 'golden goal'.

The golden goal was used in the FIFA World Cup for the last time in [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002]], when [[Turkey national football team|Turkey]] defeated [[Senegal national football team|Senegal]] in the quarter-finals when [[İlhan Mansız]] scored what would be the final golden goal in male tournaments. However, the [[2003 FIFA Women's World Cup final|2003 Women's World Cup final]] was decided by a golden goal as Germany defeated Sweden 2–1 with a header by [[Nia Künzer]] in the 98th minute. It was the last golden goal in FIFA Women's World Cup history.

====Silver goal====
For the 2002–03 season, [[UEFA]] introduced a new rule, the silver goal, to decide a competitive match. If a team leads after the first fifteen-minute half of extra time, it is the winner, but the game no longer ends the instant a team scores like it did under golden goal. Competitions that operated extra time would be able to decide whether to use the golden goal, the silver goal, or neither procedure. The silver goal was seen as a means to "reduce the odds of a penalty shoot-out without the immediate jeopardy (and perceived unfairness) of Golden Goal" as it gave the losing team the remainder of the first fifteen-minute period of extra time to make a comeback.<ref name="silvergoal">{{cite web |url=https://www.planetfootball.com/nostalgia/remembering-short-lived-silver-goal-2004-czech-side-robbed |title=Remembering the short-lived Silver Goal & the 2004 Czech side it robbed |website=Planet Football |date=1 July 2023 |last=O'Neill |first=Benedict }}</ref>

On 27 August 2003, Dutch club [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] qualified for the group stage of the [[2003–04 UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds|2003–04 UEFA Champions League]] by virtue of the silver goal against Austrian club [[Grazer AK|GAK]] after the two legs finished 1–1 each after 90 minutes. In extra time, Ajax was able to take advantage of GAK having two players sent off when [[Tomáš Galásek]] scored from a penalty in the 103rd minute.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/025a-0eaad084cbf9-a26b369aa8c7-1000--galasek-saves-ajax-blushes/|title=Galásek saves Ajax blushes|date=27 August 2003|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131003164553/http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2003/matches/round=1711/match=73057/postmatch/report/index.html|archive-date=3 October 2013|url-status=live}}</ref>

Less than a year later on 1 July 2004, Galásek was on the field when the silver goal was featured in the only major competitive match to be decided by a silver goal: that of the semi-final match at [[UEFA Euro 2004|Euro 2004]] between [[Greece national football team|Greece]] and the [[Czech Republic national football team|Czech Republic]]. However, the silver goal would eliminate the Czech Republic as [[Traianos Dellas]] scored for Greece after a [[corner kick]] in the last two seconds of the first period of extra time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/season=2004/matches/round=1583/match=1059193/index.html|title=UEFA EURO 2004 – History – Greece-Czech Republic – UEFA.com|date=1 July 2004|publisher=UEFA|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111129193158/http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/season=2004/matches/round=1583/match=1059193/index.html|archive-date=29 November 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> The Czech team had been known for their come-from-behind wins earlier in the tournament against Latvia, Netherlands, and Germany, but the extremely late Greek score left the Czechs no chance to equalize. On the other hand if the Greeks had scored at the start of either period of extra time, the Czechs would have had a decent opportunity to come back in the match.<ref name="silvergoal"/> As well as being the only silver goal ever seen in an international match, it was also the only goal Dellas ever scored in his international career.
