Laws of the Game 2006
PROCEDURES TO DETERMINE THE WINNER OF A MATCH OR HOME-AND-AWAY
 

Away goals, extra time and taking kicks from the penalty mark are methods of determining the winning team where competition rules require there to be a winning team after a match has been drawn or home-and-away

Away Goals
Competition rules may provide that where teams play each other home and away, if the scores are equal after the second match, any goals scored at the ground of the opposing team will count double.

Extra Time
Competition rules may provide for two further equal periods, not exceeding 15 minutes each, to be played. The conditions of Law 8 will apply.
