Format
Teams face tough battles in the tournament’s knockout stage to progress to the next round. Suppose the scores are equal when a match ends after 90 minutes of regular play. Then teams get extra time to play for the final result.
Extra time consists of two 15-minute periods, during which both teams can break the deadlock and secure victory. The requirement for a sixth substitution makes extra time even more intriguing, offering teams a chance to inject fresh energy into their gameplay.
But, if the match remains unresolved even after the extra time, then the winner is determined by the penalty shoot-out.
