Eliminated the double value rule in the opposite field
It should be remembered that for this season’s qualifiers UEFA has eliminated the rule that, in the event of a tie, qualification was given to the team that would have scored the most goals away from home. This season, any tie after the 180-minute tie will be resolved in overtime and, if equality persists, in the penalty shoot-out.
