As in the previous year, there were two rounds before the round of 16. As usual, the competition was held 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 . The away goals rule did not apply in the final. 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. The participants from Argentina and Brazil only started in the second round, defending champion Independiente Avellaneda only in the round of 16.
