English term or phrase: large following (fans?) / away goals rule / in the return
This is a kind of soccer term, please explain in Spanish, English or Japanese. If you can I would like to understand clearly the sentense.

When the Greek team who have a large following in Cyprus, were winners on the away-goals rule after following a 1-1 result in Athens with a 2-2 draw in the return

Spanish translation:gran número (cantidad) de seguidores / regla de goles como visitante / en el partido de vuelta
Explanation:
large following indeed refers to fans.
Away goals rule: this means each goal scored away (at the other team's 'home') counts as two
In the return means the second match; if the first match was played at home the second will be away and the other way round
