| Silver Goal rule | |
| Author: topsi
Date: 29-08-2003, 13:59 | Hi all, just a hypothetic scenario, about which I'm wondering how the solution really is. The Silver Goal rule says, that there is at least 15 minutes to play, i.e. the first half of extra time, after the end of the match, even if there is a goal scored. So what happens if silver goal rule is applied? Are away goals taken into account for deciding which team will get to the next round? What if both Dortmund and Brugge would have scored a goal in the first half of extra time. Would the game have been over? Let's see what your opinions are. Topsi |

That means, no more away goal rule. Example: If both Dortmund and Brügge scored in the first half of overtime (result 3-2), there would have had to be a second half (we remember: NO away goal rule). Similar scenario after second half. Another example: If Grazer AK equalled the score to 2-2 after the first half of prolongation, there would have had to be a second half. But indeed there was no equalizer  , Ajax advances to Champions League.Chris  |
