Mode

The tournament consisted of five rounds. In each round other than the final the games were held over two legs, with the team winning on aggregate advancing to the next round. In case the score was level after two legs, the second game was extended by 30 minutes of extra time. If still no winner could be determined a Penalty shoot-out decided which team advanced to the next round.

The final was held over one leg with 30 minutes of extra time in case the game was a draw after regular time. If the score was still level the game was replayed with 30 minutes of extra time in case of another draw. If still no winner could be determined, a penalty shoot-out decided the winner of the cup.
