Soccer scoring question ....

Game ties after regulation and after two overtimes. They go to PKs. Team A makes 3 PKs, team B makes 1.
What's the final score? 1-0? Or 3-1?
Couldn't find anything in the AP book

 

Add one goal to the winning team, making it 1-0, 2-1, 3-2 etc.

 

That is incorrect.

The final score is a tie, XXXX team advances on penalty kicks.

When a soccer game goes to a tiebreaker, there is no loser.

 

Technically yes, but if you have to have a score head or line score on a box, as most do, putting that underneath it as you would in European soccer scores doesn't work.

It's the one concession I'll make to prep and college soccer over here, for simplicities sake.

 

Blue 0, Yellow 0, Blue wins on PK 4-3.

 

Fine, fine, do it that way. I'm not going to object.

 

I usually go with the:
Blue 0, Yellow 0
(Blue wins 4-3 in PKs)

and in the story, Blue won in penalty kicks to settle a scoreless draw.

 

My point is, our state association, and a lot of others, go with 1-0 (3-1 PK) as the official score when brackets are drawn up for state tournaments.

While it is incorrect according the the rules I was brought up with, I want to be consistent with the scores people will see when they're going to check the brackets.

 

Why worry about being consistent with the State Assocoation? Be consistent in how it appears in your paper.

Had one today. Our style is:

*Team A 1,
Team B 1
LINESCORE
scoring etc.
*Team A won on penalty kicks, 12-11

(Yes, 12-11 was the PK score!)

 

Which is getting to the chicken/egg. I don't know who did it that way first, but we both do, and have since I arrived here.

 

Were the keepers in goal during the penalty kicks?

 

Don't know Mike, we did not staff it
