Most remarkable result of second round was the elimination of Panionios by Atromitos. Even if Panionios won 5–0 in the Nea Smyrni Stadium, it was changed in 0–2 without match, because of outlaw use of a footballer by home team side, while they did not accomplish to reverse the score in the second leg.

In quarter-finals, Olympiacos eliminated Panathinaikos with away goals rule, with a penalty in last minutes of second match. In semi-finals, PAOK eliminated with an impressive 3–0 home victory after extra time (3–2 on aggregate) AEK Athens, the champions of the season.

Group stage[edit]

The phase was played in a single round-robin format. Each win would gain 2 points, each draw 1 and each loss would not gain any point.

Knockout phase[edit]

Each tie in the knockout phase, was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule was applied, i.e. the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then extra time was played. The away goals rule was again applied after extra time, i.e. if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the visiting team advanced by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the winners were decided by a penalty shoot-out.
The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:

  • There are no seedings, and teams from the same group can be drawn against each other.
