Who wins if aggregate goals and away goals are equal in a two-legged
cup-tie? For example, if Iran beats Ireland 2-0 in Teheran, who goes
to the finals?

My assumption is that each federation has different rules. What is
the tiebreaker in the UEFA cup, what is the tiebreaker in the WCQs and
elsewhere?

"Who wins if aggregate goals and away goals are equal in a two-legged

You use the "away goals" rule. For instance, if Iran were to win 3-1, the
scores on aggregate would be 3-3, but Ireland would have scored a goal in
their game away from home, whereas Iran didn't score away from home. If
Ireland score in Tehran, then Iran would have to win on aggregate outright
to go through.

If Iran win 2-0 after 90 minutes, then it will go to extra time and then
penalties if necessary. The away goal rule still counts at the end of
extra-time, so if Iran go on to win 3-1, after it being 2-0 after 90
minutes, then Ireland go through on away goals. Ireland's penalties in a
possible penalty shoot-out wouldn't count as away goals. You have to win on
penalties outright.

Are you sure that the "Golden Goal" rule is not being used?

I was under the impression that it would be tearted like a tied game.
So, the tie breaker would be two overtime periods until golden goal
and then penalties. Not a good scenario but can well happen in Tehran.

In the case of the Ireland V Iran game extra time will be played with
the golden goal rule being applied. If no one scores then it will go
penalties .
