■Match format and determination of winners
- Quarterfinals, semifinals (home and away)
The winner in each round is the team with the highest number of wins for two matches.
If the number of wins is the same, the ranking is determined based on the following, in order of priority.

(1) Goal difference for two matches
(2) Number of away goals
(3) 30-minute extra time (two halves of 15 minutes each) at the end of the second round
*The away-goals rule is not applied in extra time
(4) Penalty shoot-out
(Five players from each team.
If the winner is not decided, the sixth and subsequent players will take turns to kick until the winner is decided.)

- Finals (One match)
In case a 90-minute match (two halves of 45 minutes each) is played and no winner is decided, an extra 30 minutes (two halves of 15 minutes each) is played. If the winner is still not decided, the winner is decided by a penalty shoot-out.
(Five players from each team.
If the winner is not decided, the sixth and subsequent players will take turns to kick until the winner is decided.)
