Kieran Trippier’s goal after four minutes and 44 seconds was the fastest goal scored in a World Cup semi-final since 1958. Croatia became the first team to play extra-time in three. The first World Cup 'Golden Goal' was scored on 16 November 1997 by a player who had only been on the pitch since the start of extra time. This was Japan's Masayuki Okada who scored in the 118th. The 1966 FIFA World Cup was the eighth FIFA World Cup, a quadrennial association football tournament for men's senior national teams. It was played in England from 11 July to 30 July 1966. England defeated West Germany 4–2 in the final to win their first (and only) World Cup; the match had finished at 2–2 after 90 minutes and went to extra time, when Geoff Hurst scored two goals to. This is a list of all penalty shoot-outs that have occurred in the Finals tournament of the FIFA World Cup. Penalty shoot-outs were introduced as tie-breakers in the 1978 World Cup but did not occur before 1982. The first time a World Cup title was won by penalty shoot-out was in 1994. The only other time was in 2006. By the end of the 2018 edition, 30 shoot-outs have taken place in the World Cup.
