a.     Extra time of two (2) equal periods of fifteen (15) minutes will be played in accordance with FIFA Law 8. 

 

If at the conclusion of both periods of extra time: 

 

a.     no goals are scored – penalty kicks will be taken in accordance with the FIFA Laws of the Game; 

 

b. both teams score the same number of goals – the away team will advance under the away goals rule.
