Club World Cup 2025 extra time rules
If the scores are level in knockout games when the full-time whistle is blown, then there will be a period of extra time in an attempt to decide which team progresses.
In total, there will be 30 minutes of extra time, split into 15-minute halves.
Teams can make an additional substitution in extra time, on top of the five that they're allotted for the whole game, and will get another substitution opportunity, to add to the three they're allowed across the match.
Substitutions can also be made before the start of extra time and in the break between halves.

Club World Cup 2025 penalties rules
If no winner can be found during extra time, then the tie will be settled via a penalty shootout.
Players from the each team will take penalties in turns until there's a winner.
If the scores are level after five spot kicks each, the shootout will go to sudden death. At that point, if one team misses followed by the opposition scoring - or vice versa - then it will be over.
Penalties can be taken by any player who finished the game, including goalkeepers, meaning unused substitutes or players who have already come off cannot take part.
The referee can order a retake if a keeper is deemed to have come off their goal line before the penalty is taken.
