Securing points in Leagues Cup

The format for the Leagues Cup (devised by Concacaf) will see all match-ups played as one-off games, both in the group stage and in the knockouts. And there will be no ties in the first round. As is usually the case, teams will collect three points for a group stage win across 90 minutes and will go home empty-handed if they lose.

If teams are level at the end of regulation time, then the match will go straight to a penalty shootout (no extra time), with the winner collecting one extra point. That means two points for winning on penalties, and one for the spot-kick losers.
