If no such result exists aggregate highest scores for and against will decide (e.g. one goal is equal to one score and three points are equal to three scores for the purpose of arriving at an aggregate).

In the event of a draw in the semi-final stages, the game will then be decided on sudden death penalties, where only the first kick shall count (i.e. no rebounds etc). Penalties shall be taken 11m from goals.
