How much do away goals count




















The tie finished and Honved advanced because they scored three goals away from home, one more than Dukla, who scored just two at Budapest. The rule was enforced in the European Cup, now Champions League, in and has since then been applied at almost all football tournaments across the world.

UEFA provided statistical evidence that there has been a reduction in home wins and goals in the club competitions they conduct over the last four decades. It often led to cagey first-leg games, in which the home team has been reluctant to commit many men forward to avoid conceding goals while hoping they would nick a goal away from home in the second leg.

If the scoreline at the end of the first leg remained close, it would lead to an open second leg, with both teams standing a chance to win. Although there was no unanimity of views, many coaches, fans and other football stakeholders have questioned its fairness and have expressed a preference for the rule to be abolished. There is also criticism of the unfairness, especially in extra time, of obliging the home team to score twice when the away team has scored.

The away goals rule has been used in football for over half a century having first been introduced in the Cup Winners Cup. It was first invoked in the second round of the tournament in a game between Czech side Dukla Prague and Hungary's Budapest Honved, which took place in November With the tie finishing , Budapest Honved progressed because they scored three goals in Czechoslovakia as opposed to Dukla, who managed just two in Hungary. It was subsequently expanded to the European Cup now Champions League in and has since been implemented in a wide variety of knockout tournaments across the world.

The idea behind the introduction of the rule was two-fold: 1 to remove the need for a tie-breaker at a neutral venue and 2 to encourage teams to attack away from home. On June 24, , UEFA confirmed that the away goals rule would no longer be used in its club competitions from the season on.

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin explained: "The impact of the rule now runs counter to its original purpose as, in fact, it now dissuades home teams - especially in first legs - from attacking, because they fear conceding a goal that would give their opponents a crucial advantage.

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, extra time. In this example, the aggregate score is 2—2. However, because Team A scored an away goal in the second leg while Team B, in the first leg, did not, Team A will progress to the next stage of the competition as they won against Team B, 1—0, on away goals. In this example, the aggregate score is 1—1 after 90 minutes and 2—2 after extra time.

However, since this rule does not apply after extra time, the match proceeds to penalty shootout. However, because Team A scored an away goal in the second leg, in extra time, while Team B, in the first leg, did not, Team A will progress to the next stage of the competition as they won against Team B, 1—0, on away goals. 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, extra time and since no goals are scored there, the match will progress to penalty shootout.

Did I make any sense to you?
