away goals

Opponent's venue tallies

Away goals is a tiebreaker rule in soccer tournaments where goals scored at the opposing team's stadium count extra when aggregate scores are level after two-legged matches.

If both teams score the same total over home and away games, the team with more away goals advances: They went through on away goals after the 3-3 aggregate.

The rule, now abolished by many competitions, aimed to reward attacking play in hostile environments.
