Any domestic supercup is considered.

Only there are considered rounds because there are domestic cups with one match by round and domestic cups with two legs for a round. The global result decides. When a round is decided by penalties, it is considered as a drawn match.

Only there are considered the last 3 rounds (1/4 , semifinals and final) in order to homogenize every domestic cup in the world.
