This only happens in a tournament. Aggregate is about the scores. If Arsenal scores 1 and Liverpool 2 at Arsenal's home, and Arsenal scores 1 and Liverpool scores 0 at Liverpool's home, Liverpool goes to the next round because Liverpool scored two at Arsenal's home. Away goals worth twice when the "aggregates" are tied. ......................Arsenal .................................Liverpool Home .................1.......................................... 2 Away ..................1 ...........................................0 In this case, Arsenal has 3 points and Liverpool has 4 points.

A two-legged tie is a contest between two teams which comprises two matches or legs, with each team as the home team in one leg. The winning team is usually determined by aggregate score, the sum of the scores of the two legs. For example, if the scores of the two legs are:
then the aggregate score will be Team A 5--3 Team B, meaning team A wins the tie.
If the aggregate score is a draw the team having scored the most goals in the away leg wins.
If still a winner cannot be decided, then the 2nd leg goes to extra time and then if necessary penalties. (note the away goals rule is still in place during extra time)
Winning on aggregate happens when two clubs play each other twice (usually because of a draw in a knockout match). The total amount of goals for the two matches determines the winner.
