Format

edit

The knockout stage was played on a single-elimination tournament with the following rules:[2]

  • Each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. The home team of the second leg in each tie was determined separately for each round as follows (Regulations Article 12.9):
    • In the semi-finals, the group winners hosted the second leg.
    • In the finals, the higher-ranked team based on total points accumulated in the group stage and semi-finals hosted the second leg.
  • In the semi-finals, if tied on aggregate, the away goals rule would be used. If still tied, the penalty shoot-out would be directly used to determine the winners (Regulations Article 12.8.2).
  • In the third place play-offs and finals, if tied on aggregate, the away goals rule would also be used. If still tied, 30 minutes of extra time would be played but the away goals scored during this time would not serve as a tie-breaking criteria. If still tied after extra time, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (Regulations Article 12.8.3).
