2024 NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup group stage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2024 NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup group stage consisted of a total of 20 teams competing across 5 groups to decide 4 places in the knockout stage of the 2024 NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup.[1] Each group had four teams, which played each other once each in a round-robin format. If a game was tied after 90 minutes, a penalty shoot-out was held. Three points were awarded for a win in regulation time, two points for a penalty shoot-out win, one point for a penalty shoot-out loss, and no points for a regulation-time loss.[2]

Tiebreakers

[edit]

If two or more clubs in the same group had an equal number of points after the completion of group play, the following criteria, in the order below, were applied to determine the preliminary round ranking:[2]

  1. Goal differential in all group play games;
  2. Most goals scored in all group play games;
  3. Most points obtained in the group games between the tied clubs;
  4. Goal differential from the group games between the tied clubs;
  5. Most goals scored in all group games between the tied clubs;
  6. Least disciplinary points accumulated:
    • yellow card: 1 point
    • indirect red card (as a result of two (2) yellow cards): 3 points
    • direct red card: 4 points
    • yellow card and direct red card: 5 points;
  7. Should two clubs remain tied after considering disciplinary points, the head-to-head result of the two clubs;
  8. Drawing of lots by NWSL x Liga MX Femenil.
