Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Goals scored; 4) Away goals scored; 5) Drawing of lots (Regulations Article 3.3h).[1]

Format edit

In the final stages, the 16 teams played a single-elimination tournament, with the following rules:[1]

  • Each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the higher-seeded team hosting the second leg (Regulations Article 3.4). However, CONMEBOL required that the second leg of the finals had to be played in South America, i.e., if there was a finalist from Mexico, they would have to host the first leg regardless of seeding (Regulations Article 3.7b).
  • In the round of 16, quarterfinals, and semifinals, if tied on aggregate, the away goals rule would be used. If still tied, extra time would not be played, and the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (Regulations Article 5.2).
  • In the finals, if tied on aggregate, the away goals rule would not be used, and 30 minutes of extra time would be played. If still tied after extra time, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (Regulations Article 5.3).
  • If there were two semifinalists from the same association, they would have to play each other (Regulations Article 3.6).

Bracket edit

The bracket of the final stages was determined by the seeding as follows:[1]

  • Round of 16:
    • Match A: Seed 1 vs. Seed 16
    • Match B: Seed 2 vs. Seed 15
    • Match C: Seed 3 vs. Seed 14
    • Match D: Seed 4 vs. Seed 13

    • Match F: Seed 6 vs. Seed 11

    • Match S2: Winner B vs. Winner G
    • Match S3: Winner C vs. Winner F
    • Match S4: Winner D vs. Winner E
  • Semifinals: (if there were two semifinalists from the same association, they would have to play each other)
    • Match F1: Winner S1 vs. Winner S4
    • Match F2: Winner S2 vs. Winner S3
