If a match was tied after normal playing time:

• For elimination matches, extra time would be played. If still tied after extra time, a penalty shoot-out would be held to determine the winner.
• For the matches for fifth place and third place, no extra time would be played, and a penalty shoot-out would be held to determine the winner.

On 18 March 2016, the FIFA Executive Committee agreed that the competition would be part of the International Football Association Board's trial to allow a fourth substitute to be made during extra time.{{cite web|title=FIFA Executive Committee approves key priorities to restore trust in FIFA|url=https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2016/m=3/news=fifa-executive-committee-approves-key-priorities-to-restore-trust-in-f-2771049.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160320190647/http://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2016/m=3/news=fifa-executive-committee-approves-key-priorities-to-restore-trust-in-f-2771049.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=20 March 2016|publisher=FIFA|date=18 March 2016}}
