Penalty shoot-out history 1This was the first ever match in a well-known competition that used the penalty shootout procedure to decide a tie.
2 For three consecutive seasons (from
1988–89 to
1990–91), if a league fixture ended in a draw,
penalty shoot-outs were used to determine which side will be awarded one point (the losing side did not get a point). Sources:
