    Tiebreakers

    If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings.[2]

    1. Higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question
    2. Superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question
    3. Higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question
    4. If, after applying criteria 1) to 3) to several teams, two teams still have an equal ranking, the criteria 1) to 3) will be reapplied to determine the ranking of these teams. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 5) and 6) will apply
    5. Results of all group matches:
      1. Superior goal difference
      2. Higher number of goals scored
    6. Drawing of lots

    Additionally, if two teams which have the same number of points and the same number of goals scored and conceded play their last group match against each other and are still equal at the end of that match, their final rankings are determined by the penalty shoot-out and not by the criteria listed above. This procedure is applicable only if a ranking of the teams is required to determine the group winner.
