Away goals rules in soccer

plumb_pete

I have a question about the away/home goals. In soccer, I lost a game away 2 - 0. I won the game at home 3 - 1. Did I win ? Thanks.

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

Well, it depends on the rules of the competition! But if as per your title, you're concerned about away goals, then your team will have lost: The primary factor is always 1 total number of goals scored across the two legs. In this case, you're tied 3-3. The tiebreaker is then number of goals scored in the away leg. In this case, it's 0-1 to your opponents. At least in every two-legged competition I've ever heard of.
