A tiebreak does not add fictional goals
The organiser records Tigres winning the first leg 2–0 and losing the second 3–1 away, then advancing on away goals. Adding the match scores still produces 3–3. The progression decision should therefore be recorded alongside that aggregate rather than represented by inventing an extra goal in the total.
An away-goals label identifies a further comparison after the aggregate is level. Keep each leg’s venue with its score so the relevant away record can be read correctly. A screenshot with only the two aggregate totals can omit the information that explains why one team advanced.
A second-leg draw can also settle the tie
Inter Miami’s official 2026 recap records a 1–1 second-leg draw against Nashville and a 1–1 aggregate, with Nashville advancing on away goals. That separate firsthand record supports the same distinction between the visible level score and the completed qualification outcome.
For an archive, do not assume a shootout is missing simply because both aggregate totals match. First establish the competition, edition and applicable tiebreak. A commentator saying the tie is decided can be consistent with a level aggregate displayed on screen.
The rule cannot be imported across all competitions
Clubs can play in domestic leagues and several cup formats with different progression mechanisms. An expectation learned from another tournament should not replace the organiser’s actual method. The meaningful label is the named competition and year, rather than a generic reference to a continental cup.
These primary 2026 match records were read on 4 November 2026. They establish the named examples; they do not by themselves describe every extra-time exception or a future season’s regulations. Consult the exact event conditions for a new tie, and preserve the official result together with its stated tiebreak.
