I am referring to Rule 16, which is better known as “the one possession overtime rule”. The change feels like the UEFA’s scrapping of the away goals rule in their European competitions for this season. However, in seven of the games a score draw occurred and due to the away goals rule, the away side won the game. However, with the away goal rule now scrapped, home sides now have a whopping 10% advantage over their opponents. With the UEFA’s knockout matches resuming this week, it will be interesting to see if over time, there will be calls to bring the away goals the rule back.
