In sports, sudden death is a type of gameplay that ends a game as soon as one team is ahead of the other. This is usually done when the teams are tied, or the game time clock has run down.

When applied to soccer, this should mean that the next goal will end the game, provided that the score is tied, yes?

Well, no.

Sudden death works differently in soccer when compared to other sports. This is mainly due to soccer games allowing for draws.
