Copa Libertadores 2008 - Knockout Stage

The knockout stage will have the teams play two games against each other on a home-and-away basis. The winner of each match up will be determined by aggregate score. The away goals rule will be employed during this stage if the aggregate is a tie, and if after 90 minutes of play during the 2nd leg the teams are still tied on goals, the teams will then go onto a penalty shootout. Extra time will not be used. The exception for tie-breaking procedure is the finals, where the away goals rule will not be used. If the teams remained tied after 90 minutes of play during the 2nd leg of the finals, extra time will be used, followed by a penalty shootout if necessary. The teams will be seeded 1 to 8 (first placed teams of each group) and 9 to 16 (second placed teams of each group) and the ties will be 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15, etc. Higher seeded teams play on their home field during the second leg.

"Kickoffs are given in local time."
