Knockout stage
The knockout stage is being played on a single-elimination tournament with the following rules:

- In the semi-finals, the group winners will host the second leg.
- In the finals, the higher-ranked team based on total points accumulated in the group stage and semi-finals will host the second leg.
- In the semi-finals, if tied on aggregate, the away goals rule will be used. If still tied, the winners will be determined by penalty shoot-out.
- In the third place play-offs and finals, if tied on aggregate, the away goals rule will also be used. If still tied, 30 minutes of extra time will be played (without an away goals criteria). If still tied after extra time, the winner will be determined by penalty shoot-out.
