The game actually finished as a draw.

At Wembley Saturday the Rags fans didn't come out of the stadium looking like they had managed a draw.
Similarly I didn't feel like we had drawn At the Etihad against Madrid last season.

Put it this way: We won the Community Shield on penalties after drawing the final.

The penalty shootout could conceivably take place the next day or a week later because it's entirely separate to the game itself, the 90/120 minutes. The only condition is that players removed from the game either through injury or substitution cannot take a penalty. Over the years people have assumed that penalties are part of the actual game because shootouts take place immediately after the game has finished, but that's not the case.

It's why Rodri's undefeated record went on after we were knocked out by Real Madrid in the Champions League last season. We drew the game and lost the penalty shootout. The penalty shootout was necessary because the game couldn't find a winner - it was drawn. As I said, penalty shootouts could take place a day, a week, or a month after the game in question but it's just easier to do it straight away because fans are already in the ground.
