Tiebreaker rules for qualification groups edit

Per uefa.com[1] the criteria used to rank two or more teams even on points are:

  1. Points earned in head-to-head matches
  2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches
  3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches
  4. Goal difference in all group matches
  5. Goals scored in all group matches
  6. Drawing of lots
  • If head-to-head criteria eliminate one team from a three- or four-way tie, then revert to the first step with the remaining teams.
  • If two teams are tied and play against each other in their last group match, then penalty kicks will be used instead of the criteria listed above.
