The whole Copa do Brasil was set up in a knock-out format. Before 2013, the rule was that if a team playing away wins with more than one goal difference in the first two rounds, the return does not need to be played. Regardless of the first result, the return will always be played in the third round. This is the only tournament in South America where the away side’s goals are doubled if the total score is a draw. The winner of the final will earn a spot in the Copa Libertadores.
