The away goals can be a solution if the English have problems with the semi-finals of the Champions League against Ajax and Barcelona.
“Liverpool”, taking “Barcelona”, you need to bridge the gap of 3-0 in the second stage of the semifinal meeting. “Spurs” will meet with “Ajax”, and to his credit a 1-0 defeat received from the best strikers in Europe.
After an impossible victory and the collapse of football predictions in the quarterfinals against Manchester City, the team of Mauricio Pochettino must be very well versed in the away goal rule.
This law was introduced into European football in 1965. The rule says: if the score of the scored goals of the two teams is the same, then the winner is the one with more goals made at a party, on a “foreign field”. The law is capable of changing the dynamics of two-stage play-off meetings in the blink of an eye.
Many could hear the phrase "away goals are considered two." In the Champions League is not quite technically accurate. For each round of a two-stage meeting on leaving before the final, the following statement applies: if the sides have scored an equal number of goals after 180 minutes, then the one that made more goals away will pass to the next round.
So, if the two stages end in draws 1-1 and 2-2, and the sides get a total of 3-3, then the team that was visiting the match 2-2 will go to the next stage. If the teams are equal even by the number of visiting heads, then additional time will be added to the match - 2 halves of 15 minutes each. In extra time, away goals are counted in exactly the same way. The next round with a draw will be the visiting team. This setting is detailed in Article 20 of the UEFA Rules.
The rule can save intractable situations in matches. But he has his critics. In 2015, the Arsenal team dropped out of the competition, giving way to Monaco just because of the away goals. English coach said that the rule is outdated. It was created in the 1960s, and now has gained too much weight, badly affecting football tactics.
Wenger was supported by coach José Murinho, Unai Emery and Massimiliano Allegri. They proposed that UEFA revise the rule. And all due to the fact that home teams are forced to choose negative tactics and go into defense. Guest teams are thus more positive and more aggressive.
UEFA has listened to them, but so far there is no news that the rules will be changed. In other leagues, similar problems are resolved by a series of penalties. And betting lovers will have the knowledge of where the match is played - at home or away - to help them choose the best odds in the BC, such as the Betting Match.
