From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2012 Malaysia Cup knockout stage will be played from 25 September to 20 October 2012, with the top two teams from every four groups from the group stage advancing to the knockout stage beginning with the quarter-finals followed by the semi-finals and the final. This stage will be played in two legs except for the finals which is played once.

Schedule[edit]

The draw for the group stage was held at Dewan Merak Kayangan, Jalan Semarak, Kuala Lumpur on 2 August 2012 at 17:00 MYT (UTC+8).[1] A draw was made to determine where the teams play while the format of the knockout round remained unchanged.

Quarter-finals 25, 28 & 29 September 2012 2 October 2012
Semi-finals 5 & 6 October 2012 11 & 12 October 2012
Final 20 October 2012

Format[edit]

The knockout phase involves the eight teams which qualified as the winners or runners-up of each of the four groups in the group stage.

Each tie in the knockout phase was played over two legs, apart from the final, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule was applied, i.e. the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then thirty minutes of extra time was played. The away goals rule was again applied after extra time, i.e. if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the visiting team advanced by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the tie was decided by penalty shoot-out. In the final, which was played as a single match, if scores were level at the end of normal time, extra time was played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if scores remained tied.

The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:

  • In the draw for the quarter-final, the four group winners were seeded, and the four group runners-up were unseeded. The seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association could not be drawn against each other.
  • In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there were no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association could be drawn against each other.
