Knockout stage

The knockout stage is being 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 will host the second leg.
    • In the final, the higher-ranked team based on total points accumulated in the group stage and semi-finals will host the second leg.
  • In the semi-finals, if tied on aggregate, the away goals rule will be used. If still tied, the winners will be determined by a penalty shoot-out.
  • In the third place play-off and final, if tied on aggregate, the away goals rule will also be used. If still tied, 30 minutes of extra time will be played (without an away goals criteria). If still tied after extra time, the winner will be determined by a penalty shoot-out.
