Knockout scores include extra time, but not penalties. A shootout decides who goes through; the penalty goals don’t count for either team. Winning after extra time or on penalties is a win, and losing a shootout is a loss. If you don’t concede before the shootout, you keep your clean sheet even when you go out on penalties.

Clean sheet points need 60+ minutes played — only players who earn the appearance bonus get them. Clean sheets follow the same rule: the score after extra time decides them, not penalties.

Progression

One-off team bonuses

Each team earns a one-off bonus for the furthest stage they reach — bonuses don’t stack. A team eliminated in the quarter-finals gets the QF bonus, not QF + R16.
