mode

Compared to the previous year, there were changes to the mode of competition. The regional elimination rounds were no longer held. The competition was played from the first round to the final in a pure knockout system with a return game. In the event of a tie for points and goals , the away goal rule applied . If the number of goals scored away from home was the same, a penalty shoot-out followed immediately after the second leg . In the final, the away goals rule did not apply for the first time. If the goal difference was the same after the first and second leg, there was extra time and only then, if necessary, a penalty shoot-out.
