The penalty kick in the final of the World Cup is the same as the international convention, there are a total of 5 chances, and each side sends 5 players to take the penalty, but when in the process of giving the penalty, if a team is clear that it has won, the referee will immediately announce the end of the game, and the 5 chances will not necessarily be used up, and will be judged according to the state on the field.

Generally speaking, if a team has a clear lead of 2 goals, and the opponent has no chance to tie, it basically declares victory, and if all 5 chances are used up and there is no winner, the 6th and 7th penalty kicks will be taken until the final success has a clear lead.
