  Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;

  Goal difference in all group matches;
  Goals scored in all group matches;
  Penalty shoot-out if only two teams have the same number of points, and they met in the last round of the group and are tied after applying all criteria above (not used if more than two teams have the same number of points, or if their rankings are not relevant for qualification for the next stage);
