Away Goals Rule

By , About.com Guide

Definition:

This is a method of separating teams in cup competitions which are played over two legs. If teams have scored the game number of goals against eachother over two matches, goals scored in the opposition’s stadium (away goals) count double at the end of the second match. If team ‘A’ has drawn 2-2 with team B in their own stadium, but 3-3 in team ‘B’s’ stadium, team A would progress on the away goals rule.
