Away goal rule in the European Super Cup

Hello. Before, many years ago, the UEFA Super Cup final consisted of two matches, one first leg and one return leg, like the UEFA Cup of those years always. In the event of a double draw, but with a goal in the return leg by the visiting team, did the visiting team win the tournament automatically by virtue of the away goal, or in the case of the Super Cup always, was this rule unlike the UEFA Cup not applied? Thank you very much. 93.41.97.54 (talk) 20:30, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

The away goals rule was applied to determine the winner of a two-legged knockout tie in cases where the two teams had scored the same number of goals on aggregate over the two matches. In such cases, the team which had scored the higher number of goals away from home was considered the winner of the tie and qualified for the next round of the competition. If the two teams had scored the same number of goals at home and away at the end of normal playing time in the second leg, extra time was played, followed by kicks from the penalty mark if no goal was scored.
