Bracket

The six best teams after the first place play two games against each other on a home-and-away basis. The winner of each match up is determined by aggregate score.

The teams were seeded one to seven in quarterfinals, and will be re-seeded one to four in semifinals, depending on their position in the general table. The higher seeded teams play on their home field during the second leg.
