'16 & '17 Upset Contest Winner
Starting on Saturday in the round of 16, there are no more draws.

After two 45-minute halves, teams will now play two 15-minute overtime periods. It's NOT sudden-death (i.e., there is no 'golden goal'), so after a score in OT a team must hold the lead until the end of the second OT. If a game is still tied after that, a shootout takes place; with each team alternately taking 5 penalty kicks (PKs) from the 12-yard spot in the box against the goalkeeper. If it's still tied after 5 rounds of PKs, then each round of PKs is sudden-death after that, until one team scores in a round and the other team doesn't.
