In sport (particularly
football (soccer)), a two-legged match is a match-up between two
clubs or nations that lasts over two individual games. Typically, these are used in
knockout cup competitions. The team who progresses is the one with the better aggregate score, which refers to the sum of scorelines from the two games. For example, if two teams are playing each other in a two-legged match, and the first result is 1-1 and the second is 2-1, then the aggregate scoreline will be 3-2. If the aggregate score is tied, then
away goals may come into consideration. If away goals are equal, or are not considered, then
extra time and possibly a
penalty shootout will occur.
