The overall goal difference in the group.      

The goals scored by the team in its group matches.      

Points earned by each team in its matches with the teams involved in the clash or the tie.      

Goal difference in matches between the same teams.

The goals scored by each team in its matches with these teams.

Points for each team on the fair play list.   

Draw a lottery.

The points of each team in the fair play list are determined according to the number of yellow and red cards that each team received during its matches in the tournament, and if the match continues, the draw will be made.


Many groups in the current tournament see the possibility of applying the rule of fair play due to the number of teams being equal in points and goals.
