Yes, they are exciting, but they are ridiculously cruel and an awful way to settle a game. I would totally be in favor of them playing a replay match like they used to do and like they still do in certain cups. Unfortunately, logistically, that is not possible.

It would be just as cruel to decide TWO matches by a 10 minute penalty shootout like in the FA CUP (210 minutes of play decided by a shootout). I might be in the minority but I love shootouts in soccer!
There is no other solution.
