The eight remaining teams are again separated into two groups with four teams each. The teams that already have played during the first round kept the results between them from the first stage and played with the two remaining teams from the other group home and away games. The winners of both groups advanced directly to the semifinals, while the second- and third-placed met in the quarterfinal in home and away elimination games.
