<P> Less than a year later on 1 July 2004, Galásek would be on the field when the silver goal was featured in the only major competitive match to be decided by a silver goal: that of the semi-final match at Euro 2004 between Greece and the Czech Republic . However, the silver goal would eliminate the Czech Republic as Traianos Dellas scored for Greece after a corner kick in the last two seconds of the first period of extra time . As well as being the only silver goal ever seen in an international match, it was also the only goal Traianos Dellas ever scored in his international career . </P> <P> The golden goal and silver goal were widely perceived as failed experiments . They had not brought about more active and attacking play and there was confusion when events could choose among several different extra time rules . The golden goal in the Euro 96 final was controversial, as the Czechs, who were on the losing side argued that the Germans' winning goal was offside . The silver goal has been called illogical in that it denies the losing team the chance of saving the match simply by virtue of when the goal is scored, a point best illustrated in the Euro 2004 semi-final; if the Greek goal had been scored 15 seconds later, that is immediately after the extra-time interval (instead of the last two seconds of the first period of extra time), the Czechs would have had nearly 15 minutes to attempt to score the equalizer . Furthermore, one team could benefit unfairly from the conditions, such as if a strong wind aided one side . </P> <P> In February 2004, the IFAB announced that after Euro 2004 in Portugal, both the golden goal and silver goal methods would be removed from the Laws of the Game . Since the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany the golden goal has never been used in the event of a tied match during the knockout stage, and FIFA restored the original rules: in the event of a tied game after the original 90 minutes, two straight 15 - minute periods of extra time are played . If a tie still remains after that, the winner is decided by a penalty shoot - out . </P>
