At the end of the quarterfinals the remaining teams were again drawn for a two-leg semifinal. The final was played only once. Three points were awarded for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. Aggregate score was used to determine the winner and where it was a tie then away goals were used and penalties if it was still a tie.
