Knockout stage

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

  • Each tie 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 final, 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 was used. If still tied, the winners were determined by a penalty shoot-out.
  • In the third place play-off and final, if tied on aggregate, the away goals rule was also used. If still tied, 30 minutes of extra time was played (without an away goals criteria). If still tied after extra time, the winner was determined by a penalty shoot-out.
