## Description

If you are managing tournament data or analyzing football results, calculating two-legged tie outcomes can get messy when away goals are involved. This MCP takes the guesswork out of aggregate scoring. You provide the scores from both legs, and your AI client handles the logic to see who moves on. It checks if the aggregate scores are level and then applies the away goals rule to find a winner. If the scores and away goals are both identical, it identifies that the tie must proceed to extra time. It works by validating your input data first to ensure the math stays accurate. You can quickly pull summaries of specific ties or verify exactly which team holds the advantage based on their away performance. It is a precise way to handle tournament progression logic without manual calculation errors.
