Tiebreakers

  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;

  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.

    • Direct red card: 3 points;
    • Yellow card followed by direct red card: 4 points;
