Dispute system

The next stage, with eight teams, will be divided into two groups, determined by drawing lots, with four teams per group. They will play at a single venue, in a single round, and two teams will advance to the semifinals. With home-and-away matches, the winners will qualify for the final, also in two matches. Home-field advantage in the second leg will always go to the team with the better record.
