The available information does not identify either team’s opponent, provide match scores or specify when or where the matches were played. It also does not say how the matches unfolded before the shootouts or provide details of the penalties. Those details are not available in the trend summary.
Both clubs’ advancement is the confirmed outcome. The summary does not provide the quarterfinal schedule, the teams they will face, or any further information about the draw. No statements from players, managers or clubs were included.
The shootouts decided the matches and determined which teams progressed, but the information provided does not describe the circumstances that led to either shootout. It therefore does not establish whether the matches were level after regulation time or whether extra time was played.
