What happens if there’s a tie?

The away goals rule is no longer in play in UEFA competitions, which means ties will go to extra time (two periods of 15 minutes) if the teams are level after 180 minutes. If they still cannot be separated, a penalty shootout will follow.

Europa Conference League round of 16 second leg results

Under normal circumstances, Aston Villa’s 4-0 home win over Ajax would’ve been the stand-out result of the round of 16, with a vibrant attacking performance allowing them to swat the Dutch team aside.

However, they were overshadowed by Greek side Olympiacos, who thrashed Maccabi Tel Aviv 6-1 (after extra-time) in Israel having lost the first leg 4-1 in Piraeus.
