The Carling Cup Semi-Final second leg will be decided under a number of circumstances this evening. With reference to away goals, they will only come into play after extra time and not before. Crystal Palace currently hold a single goal advantage, so Cardiff will need to score two goals without reply to progress in standard or extra time.



If Crystal Palace score one goal, Cardiff will need three to progress - though if the scores are tied at an aggregate 2-2 or any higher aggregate score draw after one hundred and twenty minutes, Crystal Palace will progress having scored an away goal or goals. The true activation point comes after ninety minutes, after which Cardiff will need to score two goals to every Crystal Palace goal. Penalties can only decide matters in the event of the match ending 1-0 to Cardiff after extra time. How's your head after that?!


Come on City!! :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

So the aggregate scores are equal after 90 minutes. There after Cardiff need to score 2 to every one of Palace. So if Palace score 2 in extra tine then Cardiff need 4? :o
