BNB, just $50. won $400.How much you bet on that Panama 7th Goal ?
I saw the Panama fans celebrated wildly after that 37 years old player slid in to score
Mostly likely penalty shootout after full time draw.
toss a coin?
Just googled... It's Number of Red or Yellow cards that will make the difference! If still cannot separate, then draw lots!

World Cup group stage tie-breakers & rules: What happens when teams are locked level?
Ryan Kelly
With so much at stake, it is not surprising to see such a keenly competitive tournament, but what happens when teams are level on points?
The group stage of the 2018 World Cup is well under way and we will soon know the identity of the teams that will be competing in the last 16.
With such a high level of competitiveness in the tournament it is not surprising that some groups are particularly tight, with very little - and in some cases, nothing - separating the sides.
The final ranking of teams in each group is not only important in terms of securing qualification for the knockout stage, but also to finalise which teams will face which, with a first-place or second-place finish potentially having a massive impact on the teams who reach the last 16.
So what happens when teams finish with the same points and goal difference? Goaltakes a look at the tournament tie-breakers.
World Cup 2018 group stage tie-breakers rules
To begin with, the basic principle of a World Cup group is that the two teams with themost points after three games progress to the next stage of the competition.
However, occasionally two or more teams will finish on the same points tally. In that scenario, the teams are placed according to their goal difference, with a greater goal difference being rewarded.
Some groups feature teams who are locked level on points and goal difference, so if they finish the group that way, the overall number of goals scored are taken into consideration - the more goals, the better.
So to summarise:
- Highest number of points
- Goal difference
- Goals scored
If teams are totally equal in terms of the aforementioned three criteria, further tie-breakers are used to determine the ranking order.
First of all, the head-to-head results between the teams in question come into play. So, if Mexico and Sweden in Group F are tied on points, goal difference and goals scored, the result between them is used, with the winner given precedence.
After that, the goal difference in the group games between the teams concerned is used, then the number of goals scored by the teams in those games.
If, after all that, the teams cannot be separated, then the fair play system is used, with the most disciplined of the level teams being rewarded.
For fair play, the team with the greatest number of fair play points is ranked higher. Only one of the following deductions are applied to a single player in a game: a yellow card brings about a deduction of -1, an indirect red (second yellow) costs -3, a direct red costs -4 and a yellow card plus a direct red card is a deduction of -5.
Remarkably, if none of those extensive criteria - involving a number of variables - cannot separate the teams, then FIFA simply draws lots to decide who finishes where.
Again, to summarise all of those points:
- Highest number of points
- Goal difference
- Goals scored
- Points obtained in group games between teams concerned
- Goal difference from games involving teams concerned
- Number of goals scored in games between teams concerned
- Fair play points
- Drawing of lots by FIFA
I think England may not want to top Group G. If they beat the other team in group H , they will meet either Brazil or Germany in the quarter final.
It will be down to Fair Play rules and if they still cannot be separated, they will have to draw lots!
