Ranking of second-placed teams edit

In order to ensure equality when comparing the runners-up team of all the groups, the results of the matches between the runner-up team and the bottom-placed team (for Group C, D, E, I and J, which consist of four teams) or two sides from the bottom (for Group A, G and H, which consists of five teams) were considered null and void due to Groups B and F having only three teams participating in the qualifiers.[3]

The best runner-up teams among those ranked second in the groups were determined as follows:

  1. Greater number of points obtained from group matches
  2. Goal difference resulting from group matches
  3. Greater number of goals scored in group matches
  4. Fewer number of points calculated according to the number of yellow and red cards received by the team in the group matches
  5. Drawing of lots.
