Do FA Cup third round games go to extra-time or replays? Rules explained

The article from MSN discusses the rules for the FA Cup third round matches, particularly focusing on whether games go to extra time or replays. In the FA Cup, if a match ends in a draw during the third round, it does not go to extra time immediately. Instead, a replay is scheduled at the opposing team's ground. If the replay also ends in a draw, then the game proceeds to extra time, consisting of two 15-minute halves. Should the scores still be level after extra time, the match is decided by a penalty shootout. This format ensures that teams have multiple opportunities to advance, maintaining the traditional and competitive spirit of the FA Cup.
