mode

As usual, the participants played the winner in pure cup mode with home and return matches. If there was a tie after both games, the number of goals scored away decided ( away goal rule ). If their number was the same, a playoff took place on a neutral pitch, as a penalty shoot-out was not yet planned. If the play-off ended in a draw even after a possible extra time, the winner was determined by tossing a coin . The final was decided in a game on a neutral court. In the event of a tie after extra time, a replay would have been scheduled, as a penalty shoot-out was not planned in the final either.
