So many tight games have taken place im quarterfinals, semifinals and third-place already and the final promises plenty of drama too.

Below is everything you need to know about how it will work.

What are the overtime and penalty kick rules at the World Cup?

If a game is tied after 90 minutes of play, there will be a five minute break and then the match will go into overtime where an extra 30 minutes of time will be given. The time will be divided into two 15-minute periods.
