Explanation

The Golden Goal rule stated that if a match was tied after 90 minutes, the first team to score in extra time would win immediately - sudden death. This rule was used in FIFA tournaments from 1998-2002 but was later replaced by the current system where full extra time is played regardless of goals scored.
