Format
In the knock-out stage, the 16 teams played a single-elimination tournament. In the quarter-finals and semi-finals, each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, while in the round of 16 and final, each tie was played as a single match. The away goals rule (for two-legged ties), extra time (away goals do not apply in extra time) and penalty shoot-out were used to decide the winner if necessary.[1]
Schedule
The schedule of each round was as follows.[2]
Round | First leg | Second leg |
---|---|---|
Round of 16 | 13–14 May 2014 | |
Quarter-finals | 19 August 2014 | 26 August 2014 |
Semi-finals | 16 September 2014 | 30 September 2014 |

The draw for the quarter-finals was held on 28 May 2014, 15:00 UTC+8, at the AFC House in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[3] Teams from different zones could be drawn into the same tie, and the "country protection" rule was applied, so teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same tie.
There was no draw for the semi-finals, with the matchups determined by the quarter-final draw: Winner QF1 vs. Winner QF2 and Winner QF3 vs. Winner QF4, with winners QF2 and QF4 hosting the second leg.
The draw to decide the host team of the final was held after the quarter-final draw.[3]
