They played each other in the last match.

Why didn't they have a penalty shoot out?

This is crazy.  Why can't they use any football related stat (corners won/shots on target) etc.  Surely anything is more fair than spinning a coin?  Obviously the certain stat would have to be decided pre event but why does it ever end like this?
