If two or more teams were equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following tie-breaking criteria were applied:[8]
- Higher number of points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question;
- Superior goal difference resulting from the matches played between the teams in question;
- Higher number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question;
If, after having applied criteria 1 to 3, teams still had an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 3 were reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure did not lead to a decision, criteria 4 to 7 were applied.
- Superior goal difference in all group matches;
- Higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
- Respect Fair play ranking of the teams in question (final tournament);
- Drawing of lots.
If only two teams were tied (according to criteria 1–7) after having met in the last match of the group stage, their ranking would be determined by a penalty shoot-out.
