Playoff stage

In the first round, if teams were level on points at the end of the regulation time in the second leg, the game was continued into extra time with golden goal in effect. If no team scored at the end of extra time, a penalty shootout determined the winner. In the subsequent playoff rounds, away goals was implemented if teams were level after the second leg. Deportes Temuco and Santiago Wanderers advanced as the best losers to the quarterfinals.
