what happens in a soccer game if both teams didn't score a single goal
A scoreless soccer game usually ends in a draw if it’s a league match or another game where ties are allowed. If it’s a knockout game, the teams may play extra time and, if still tied, go to penalties.
What that means
- In a regular league match, both teams can finish 0-0 and each get 1 point.
- In a tournament where a winner must be decided, the match can continue with extra time and then a penalty shootout if needed.
- So the result is not a forfeit or automatic loss; it depends on the competition rules.
Simple example
If Team A and Team B both fail to score after 90 minutes:
- League game: final score is 0-0 draw.
- Knockout game: extra time first, then penalties if still level.
TL;DR: If neither team scores, the game is usually a 0-0 draw; in knockout competitions, it may go to extra time and then penalties.
