Heard this on Heart Radio this morning on my way home after the drama of Messi missing his penalty last night. Apparently, in the event of a tie, with both teams on the same points, the team to progress in the competition is the one with the better goal difference . Fair enough, but if both teams have the same GD, the one that goes through is the one with fewer red/yellow cards against them. If both teams have the same disciplinary record however, the one that goes through is decided not by a replay but by the toss of a coin. Is this really correct?
