Just wondering....What in the world does "agregate" mean?? I see in score reports that a team can lose a game but win by agregate??? What in the world does agregate mean?? I see that Man U just beat Real Madrid but Real advances because they actually win 6-4 by agregate??? Can someone explain please?
aggregate means you add the scores for the two games together to give an aggregate score: RM - MU .3......1........first game .3......4........second game -------- .6......5........aggregate score !
Thank you, I kind of figured that was how it went. Is agregate used for most every league or just UEFA?
MLS will use aggregate scoring for the first two rounds of the playoffs. CONCACAF used home-home aggregate matches for Carribean and Central American teams to get to the semifinal round of qualifying. The CONCACAF Champions League matches are also. (this time)
Got it. Thanks. Too bad all the MLS teams have been ousted in the CONCACAF this year. Maybe next year.
You win by aggregate in home and away series. these are used in qualifying for the Champions League and after the group stages (minus the championship). They are also used throughout the UEFA Cup. for example i will use Real/Man U 1st leg game: Real (home) 3-1 Man U so there the aggregate is 3-1 with one away goal for Man U. 2nd leg game: Man U (home) 4-3 Real final aggregate Real 6-5 Man U if Man U won today 2-0 the aggregate would of been 3-3 but Man U would of gone through on away goals, if it was 3-1 aggregate would of been 4-4 with tied away goals which would be played out in OT then pk's. hope it explains it all.
In UEFA away goals are used as a tiebreaker if the aggregate score is a tie. If yesterday's score had been 5-3, making the aggregate 6-6, Madrid would still have advanced because they had more away goals, 3 to 1. I'm not sure if that's what you're asking.
Yeah, thanks. That's exactly what I'm asking. Is UEFA the only league where away goals are used as tiebreakers?
Away goals are counted in Home and Away Series. The UEFA CUP uses it except in the final. It is also used in the qualifying stage and the quater/semifinal stages of the Champions League. The Brazilian playoffs used it up till this year, now I think they use a form of it for some tournament. And the Copa Libertadores (the South American Champions League) uses it in the same way the Champions League does.
Aggregate home and away, away goals as tiebreakers, extratime and penalty shootouts is, at least back home (Sweden), referred to as the UEFA rules, and used for most play-offs and cup tournaments. I imagine this is common practice in a lot of countries.
Yep. In England, home-and-away is used for the League Cup (except for the final) and for promotion/relegation playoffs.
CONCACAF used the away goals rule for 02 World Cup Qualifying home/away matches. CONCACAF did not use the away goals rule for last years Champions League pairings. IF aggregate goals were even, the overtime and PKs were used. MLS will not use the away goals rule for the playoffs this fall. So, it depends on the rules of the competition.
