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 higher number of goals scored away ( away goal rule ) decided. If their number was also the same, extra time took place in the second leg, in which the away goals rule also applied. If there was still a tie at the end of extra time, a penalty shoot- out was carried out. The final was decided in a game on a neutral court. In the event of a tie after extra time, the winner would also have been determined in a penalty shoot-out.
