title="Tiebreaker">tiebreaking</a> in <a href="/wiki/Association_football" title="Association football">association football</a> and other sports when teams play each other twice, once at each team's home ground. Under the away goals rule, if the total goals scored by each team are equal, the team that has scored more goals "<a href="/wiki/Road_(sports)" title="Road (sports)">away from home</a>" wins the tiebreaker. This is sometimes expressed by saying that away goals "count double" in the event of a tie,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> though in practice the team with more away goals is simply recorded as the victor, rather than having additional or 'double' goals added to their total. </p><p>The away goals rule is most often invoked in <a href="/wiki/Two-legged_tie" title="Two-legged tie">two-leg fixtures</a>, where the initial result is determined by the <a href="/wiki/Aggregate_score" class="mw-redirect" title="Aggregate score">aggregate score</a> — i.e. the scores of both games are added together. In many competitions, the away goals rule is the first tie-breaker in such cases, with a <a href="/wiki/Penalty_shootout_(association_football)" class="mw-redirect" title="Penalty shootout (association football)">penalty shootout</a> as the second tie-breaker if each team has scored the same number of away goals. Rules vary as to whether the away goals rule applies only to the end of normal time of the second leg, or applies in <a href="/wiki/Extra_time_(association_football)" class="mw-redirect" title="Extra time (association football)">extra time</a> as well. It was first introduced by <a href="/wiki/UEFA" title="UEFA">UEFA</a> in the <a href="/wiki/1965%E2%80%9366_European_Cup_Winners%27_Cup" title="1965–66 European Cup Winners&#39; Cup">1965–66 European Cup Winners' Cup</a>. </p><p>Since the early 2020s in <a href="/wiki/Association_football" title="Association football">association football</a>, the application of the away goals rule has been repeatedly scrutinized and ultimately abolished in numerous competitions. There is empirical evidence that the away goals rule reduces the total number of goals scored during the match and benefits visiting teams in the second leg due to the different perceptions of risk in the first leg and the second leg.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> There are two other commonly cited reasons for the abandonment of the rule. One is the fact of away goals being an anachronism of 1960s football when the allocation of stadium capacity specifically for travelling away supporters did not exist as a practice, which is no longer the case with more widely available modes of transportation and ease of travel for supporters.<sup id="cite_ref-goalarticle_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-goalarticle-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Another more unsportsmanlike reason is the fact that, in the event of <a href="/wiki/Overtime_(sports)" title="Overtime (sports)">extra time</a> at the end of the second leg, the away team unfairly benefits from extra time to score a more valuable away goal.<sup id="cite_ref-goalarticle_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-goalarticle-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The away goals rule was abolished in all UEFA club competitions from the 2021–22 season,<sup id="cite_ref-uefa.com_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-uefa.com-4"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> all CONMEBOL club competitions from the 2022 season,<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> then in all AFC club competitions from the 2023–24 season.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Explanation">Explanation</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Away_goals_rule&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section: Explanation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b>Example A</b> </p> <ul><li>In the first leg, the final score is: Team A (Home) 1–0 Team B (Away).</li> <li>In the second leg, the final score is: Team B (Home) 1–0 Team A (Away).</li></ul> <p>In this example, the aggregate score is 1–1, but as neither team scored an away goal, the match will progress to the next tie-breaker, <a href="/wiki/Extra_time_(association_football)" class="mw-redirect" title="Extra time (association football)">extra time</a>. </p><p><b>Example B</b> </p> <ul><li>In the first leg, the final score is: Team A (Home) 1–0 Team B (Away).</li> <li>In the second leg, the final score is: Team B (Home) 2–1 Team A (Away).</li></ul> <p>In this example, the aggregate score is 2–2.

The away goals rule is intended to encourage the away team to be more aggressive. In football, at least, it can lead to a nervous first leg: the home team is unwilling to commit large numbers of players to attack to avoid conceding an away goal, whilst the away team attempts to snatch an away goal to aid them in the second leg. Such tactics arguably make the second leg more exciting, after a low-scoring first leg leaves both sides with a chance to win. There are sometimes debates over whether the away goals rule gives an unfair advantage to the team playing away first — with the other team squandering their home advantage in the first leg due to away goal fears — and this may be a factor in its somewhat patchy adoption for competitions.<sup id="cite_ref-uefa.com_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-uefa.com-4"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-skysports.com_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-skysports.com-7"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The rule can also make the game more exciting as normally one goal can only make the difference between losing and drawing, or between drawing and winning, but with the away goals rule, one goal can make the difference between losing and winning. </p><p>There is also the issue that if extra time is played in the second leg, the away team gets an extra 30 minutes to take advantage of the away goals rule. This can be countered by the fact that in extra time, the home team has the advantage of playing the extra 30 minutes at home. In addition, usually, the home team had made a better campaign in the group stage, which would naturally give it some advantage over the away team. </p><p>Anecdotal evidence suggests that most teams feel an away goal puts them in the driving seat, such as <a href="/wiki/Liverpool_F.C." title="Liverpool F.C.">Liverpool</a> being able to draw 1–1 at <a href="/wiki/Arsenal_F.C." title="Arsenal F.C.">Arsenal</a> in the <a href="/wiki/2007%E2%80%9308_UEFA_Champions_League" title="2007–08 UEFA Champions League">2007–08 UEFA Champions League</a> quarterfinals; Liverpool did eliminate Arsenal to advance to the semi-finals.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Liverpool won the second game 4–2, making the aggregate score for the tie Liverpool 5–3 Arsenal, therefore, the away goal scored by Liverpool in the first leg was not required.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Many commentators have described the importance of a team being able to score an away goal, even when losing that leg of the tie, as it mathematically does give that team a chance to redeem itself on home soil by leveling the tie on aggregate while using the away goal as a tiebreaker.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> For example, in the 2007 UEFA Champions League round of 16, while Bayern Munich lost the first leg 2–3 at Real Madrid, Bayern later won 2–1 at home to level the tie on aggregate, but it was Bayern's away goals scored during their first leg loss that let them advance.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> In the <a href="/wiki/2009%E2%80%9310_UEFA_Champions_League" title="2009–10 UEFA Champions League">2009–10 UEFA Champions League</a>, Bayern Munich won both round of 16 and quarter-finals on the away goal rule after drawing 4–4 on aggregate, by winning 2–1 at home and losing 2–3 away, against <a href="/wiki/ACF_Fiorentina" title="ACF Fiorentina">Fiorentina</a> and <a href="/wiki/Manchester_United_F.C." title="Manchester United F.C.">Manchester United</a> respectively.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the <a href="/wiki/2012%E2%80%9313_UEFA_Champions_League" title="2012–13 UEFA Champions League">2012–13 UEFA Champions League</a> semi-finals, despite losing 1–4 in the first leg to <a href="/wiki/Borussia_Dortmund" title="Borussia Dortmund">Borussia Dortmund</a>, <a href="/wiki/Real_Madrid_CF" title="Real Madrid CF">Real Madrid</a> would have been able to advance if at home it managed to hold Dortmund to 3–0; during the second leg Real Madrid scored two goals in the last ten minutes but were unable to score the third goal that would have sent them through to the final (Dortmund advanced 4–3 on aggregate). In the other semi-final, however, after <a href="/wiki/FC_Barcelona" title="FC Barcelona">Barcelona</a> were defeated away by Bayern Munich 4–0, commentators considered Barcelona essentially eliminated because Bayern could seal the tie by scoring one away goal even if Barcelona managed to score five goals (Bayern managed a 3–0 win in the second leg to advance 7–0 on aggregate).<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The away goals rule can result in the "lead" of the two-legged tie swinging back and forth.

During the second leg held in London, Chelsea first scored three straight goals to take the lead on aggregate (4–2), but Barcelona responded with two goals to level the aggregate score at 4–4 while taking the lead on away goals (2–1).

In Latin America, an example of a tournament that used the away goal rule was the <a href="/wiki/Copa_do_Brasil" title="Copa do Brasil">Copa do Brasil</a> (Brazil Cup) until the 2017 edition. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/EFL_Cup" title="EFL Cup">Football League Cup</a> semi-finals, when previously played over two legs, would apply the away goals rule only after extra time.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The away goals rule is sometimes used in <a href="/wiki/Round-robin_tournament" title="Round-robin tournament">round-robin</a> competitions (that is, <a href="/wiki/Sports_league" title="Sports league">leagues</a> or <a href="/wiki/Multi-stage_tournament" class="mw-redirect" title="Multi-stage tournament">qualifying groups</a>), where it may be used to <a href="/wiki/Group_tournament_ranking_system#Tiebreaker_criteria" title="Group tournament ranking system">break ties involving more than two teams</a>.
