how the finalists have fared in the semi's

in this division since playoffs reverted to a one-off final</p>

red= home leg first</p>

blue = away leg first</p>

by far the most popular way of making the final is draw the first leg away and win the second leg at home (NB away goals don't count now)</p>

what's the little 'p' for? Penalties

If so, how can you lose the second leg on penalties and still go through?

 

Penalties-of course!

 

For example

2-1 win away, 2-1 loss at home. 3-3 on aggregate.

Then a win on penalties

 

gorrit now. doh

 

and the little a stands for........?

away goals
