American football has intermediate scoring, field goals. Basketball has intermediate scoring, the 3 point line.
Soccer needs an intermediate scoring scheme. The one I like is for 10 minutes after a player gets red-carded, you add 1 meter to each side of the goal posts. You can shoot goals from mid-field.
Soccer used to do it right.
If it was a knockout tournament, they would actually replay the entire game a few days later. I think they still do this for the earlier rounds of the FA Cup.
