Knockout stage

The knockout stage consisted of three single-elimination rounds culminating in a final and a third-place playoff. In the case of a tie in regulation time, two 10-minute periods of extra time would be played to determine a winner. If the scores were tied at the end of extra time, an additional 10-minute “sudden death” period would be played, with the first team to score any points being the winner. If the score still remained tied, a kicking competition would ensue.
