Editing 1970 FIFA World Cup (section)

==Knockout stage==
{{main|1970 FIFA World Cup knockout stage}}
The eight teams that had advanced from the group stage entered a [[Single-elimination tournament|single-elimination]] style tournament, which also featured a third place play-off contested between the two losing semi-finalists. In this knockout stage (including the final), if a match was level at the end of 90 minutes, [[Extra time#Association football|extra time]] of two periods (15 minutes each) would be played. In matches prior to the final, if the score was still level after extra time then a coin toss by the referee would determine the winner. If the final was still level after 120 minutes' play then the match would instead be [[Replay (sports)|replayed]] at a later date.
