Tiebreakers 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. Highest number of points obtained in all group matches; Highest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned; Goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned; Highest number of goals scored from all group matches between the teams concerned; 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. Goal difference in all group matches; Highest number of goals scored in all group matches; Kicks from the penalty mark only if two (2) teams are involved and they are both on the field of play. Fewer points of yellow/red cards in all group matches (only one of these deductions shall be applied to a player in a single match): Drawing of lots

Third-placed teams from the three groups are ranked according to the following criteria, after the results against the fourth-placed teams of groups A and B are excluded in order to rank them with the same numbers of matches. Highest number of points obtained in all group matches; Goal difference in all group matches; Highest number of goals scored in all group matches; Fewer points of yellow/red cards in all group matches (only one of these deductions shall be applied to a player in a single match): Drawing of lots

Knockout stage In the knockout stage, extra time and penalty shoot-out are used to decide the winner if necessary, except for the third place match where penalty shoot-out (no extra time) is used to decide the winner if necessary.
