Tiebreakers

[edit]

Teams in a group were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings.[1]

  1. Highest number of points obtained in all group matches;
  2. Highest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  3. Goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
  4. Highest number of goals scored from all group matches between the teams concerned;
  5. If two or more teams have equal ranking with the criteria so far, reapply the criteria above only for them. If this re-application gives no more ranking, apply the following criteria.
  6. Goal difference in all group matches;
  7. Highest number of goals scored in all group matches;
  8. Kicks from the penalty mark only if two (2) teams are involved and they are both on the field of play.

    • First yellow card: 1 point;
    • Indirect red card (second yellow card): 3 points;
    • Direct red card: 3 points;
    • Yellow card followed by direct red card: 4 points;
  10. Drawing of lots

  2. Goal difference in all group matches;
  3. Highest number of goals scored in all group matches;
