Tie-break criteria

If teams are tied after the two-match series (on basis of Results, Goals Scored, Away Goals), then a Cup System will take effect.

Knockout format:

After the conclusion of the second match (i.e. 90 minutes of regulatory time), 30 minutes of overtime will be played (2 x 15 minutes) Goals scored during overtime period will be decisive.

  • a) Team scoring greater number of goals advances
  • b) If both teams score same number of goals, then team with more away goals advances

If no goals are scored in the extra-time, then penalty kick procedures will apply, as described in the Laws of the Game[7]

Notes

  1. ^ Senegal must play their home match in the play-off round at a neutral venue, due to a one-year ban from playing at their home stadium imposed by the CAF following riots in their 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Côte d'Ivoire.[8]
