2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League championship stage
The 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League championship stage was played from February 24 to April 29, 2015. Eight teams competed in the championship stage to decide the champions of the 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League.[1]
Qualified teams
The winners of each of the eight groups in the group stage qualified for the championship stage.
In the championship stage, the eight teams played a single-elimination tournament. Each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. The away goals rule would be used if the aggregate score was level after normal time of the second leg, but not after extra time, and so a tie would be decided by penalty shoot-out if the aggregate score was level after extra time of the second leg.[1]
