C. Tie-Breaker Procedures). Format In the knockout stage, the eight teams played a single-elimination tournament. Each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the higher-seeded team hosting the second leg. The away goals rule would be used if the aggregate score was level after normal time of the second leg, but not after extra time, and so a tie would be decided by penalty shoot-out if the aggregate score was level after extra time of the second leg (Regulations, II. C. Tie-Breaker Procedures). Starting from this season, the higher-seeded team in each tie would host the second leg throughout the knockout stage. Bracket The bracket of the knockout stage was determined by the seeding as follows: Quarter-finals: QF1: Seed 1 vs. Seed 8 QF2: Seed 2 vs. Seed 7 QF3: Seed 3 vs. Seed 6 QF4: Seed 4 vs. Seed 5 Semi-finals: SF1: Winner QF1 vs. Winner QF4 SF2: Winner QF2 vs. Winner QF3 Final: Winner SF1 vs. Winner SF2 200 Quarter-finals Semi-finals Final 7 MEX Querétaro 2 1 3 2 USA D.C.
