	Away goals rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The away goals rule is a method of breaking ties in football fixtures contested over two legs.
		The away goals rule is applied in many football competitions that involve two-legged fixtures, including the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup, and any two-legged playoffs used in qualification for the FIFA World Cup or European Championships.
		In English football, two-legged fixtures in the League Cup are only subject to the away goals rule after extra time; even if one team leads on away goals after 90 minutes of the second leg, extra time is played regardless.

	Sundowns crash out of Africa
		But the team who have adopted the nickname of Brazilians have themselves to blame to a quite considerable degree for their crushing setback after leaving the prolific scoring and in-form "Shakes" Ngwenya and a number of other first-choice players on the bench in the mistaken belief victory was something of a formality.
		Ngwenya was belatedly summoned to the pitch in the 62nd minute immediately after Sundowns had slumped to a 2-1 deficit - which, because of the away goal rule, meant they needed to score twice to gain the lead.
		A shell-shocked Sundowns battled to secure goals in the final 30 minutes against a stoic, but well-marshalled Uscafoot defence and were unfortunate not to be awarded a penalty for a blatant handball in the 74th minute.

		PFDC - HAMBURG, A 51st minute away goal by Rapid Bukarest denied Hamburg a quarterfinal berth in the UEFA Cup, as Hamburg won the second leg by 3-1, however, the Romanians advanced with a 3-3 score on aggregate due to the scored away goal.
		However, Rapid scored the crucial away goal six minutes into second half, when Buga scored from a rebound.
		HSV's van der Vaart gave the right response by marking Hamburg's third goal of the day, but despite much pressure and numerous clear chances the Germans failed to score another goal against the Romanians, who held on to the lead - unfortunatley also by much timewasting and dirty play.

	Jamaica Gleaner - Tough task for Arnett - Wednesday \| December 3, 2003
		The away goal rule counts each goal scored by the travelling team as two in the event of a tie.
		Most of their top players were away at the start of the season and while almost all are back home now, several are injured and they have not been able to assemble a combination which play consistently well.
		Graham, with five goals in Arnett's three previous matches in this competition, is sure to be in the strike force again along with Denton Shedden, Cornel Chin-Sue, Everton Bunsie and Jonathan Williams.

		According to the rules of the competition, the winners of a group in a league system will be determined by greater number of points obtained in all the group matches.
		However, when it comes to determining,the away goal rule will not count as double as is usually done in CAF organised competitions,FIFA’s response further explained.
		In simple terms,if it came to the head-to-head count, assuming the unimaginable happens and Ghana and DR Congo were drawn on level terms on points and goal difference, Ghana will not have any advantage in the away goal rule.

	Socceroos Realm - Home Or Away First
		In exploding the away-first knowledge myth, analysing the comeback factor, the away goals factor and historical records, we'll show that electing to play home-last is just about the most ridiculous decision that can be made in the sport.
		We've seen that invariably first leg matches are tight with both teams more desperate at not conceding: the home team because they don't want to concede an away goal, and the away team because they want a draw or small loss to take into their home match.
		The deflected goal was a fluke, but made nothing in the end, as Australia always had to score a goal to win.

		If away goals are also level 30 minutes of extra-time will be played, with no golden goal, and if the sides can still not be separated the game will be decided by penalties.
