Format
In the knockout stage, the eight teams played on a single-elimination basis. In the quarter-finals, each tie was played as a single match, while in the semi-finals and final, each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. The away goals rule (for two-legged ties), extra time and penalty shoot-out were used to decide the winner if necessary.
Bracket
The bracket of the knockout stage was determined as follows:
Round | Matchups |
---|---|
Quarter-finals | (Group winners host match, matchups decided by draw, teams from same group cannot play each other)
|
Semi-finals | (Matchups and order of legs decided by draw, involving winners QF1, QF2, QF3, QF4)
|
Final | (Order of legs decided by draw)
|
The bracket was decided after the draw for the knockout stage (quarter-finals, semi-finals, final) was held on 5 March 2018 at the OFC Headquarters in Auckland, New Zealand.[2][3]
