mode
The mode consisted of a knockout system . In the preliminary round and in the sixteenth finals, the rule was that if a team wins an away first leg by at least two goals, there is no second leg.
After the first and second leg, only the number of wins counted. If this did not result in a winner, the goal difference counted. In the event of a tie, the away goals rule was applied. If no winner was determined after these were used, this was determined in a penalty shoot-out.
