The rule of the golden ball system is that in overtime, whoever scores first wins the team. Specifically, if the two teams draw within the normal 90 minutes, it will take 15 minutes in the first half and the second half. If a team scores first in overtime, the game ends immediately and the team wins. This goal is called the golden ball.
The origin of the golden ball system:
1990 World Cup in Italy, South American team Argentina relied on the guiding ideology of "counterattack" to squeeze out Brazil, Yugoslavia and Italy one after another in the knockout stage, and twice used penalty kicks to reach the final.
In the end, it created an embarrassing miracle: it scored five goals in seven games and became the world runner-up. Then international football racked its brains to avoid this embarrassing repetition. The idea of the golden ball system came into being under this background.
In the semi-final of the European Championship held in Sweden from 65438 to 0992, the Danish team, determined to fight back defensively, eliminated the Dutch team, the advocate of attacking football, and finally won the championship, creating a famous "Danish fairy tale" and even playing a role in fueling the situation. At this point, the golden ball system stands out.
