  2. Greater goal difference in matches between the tied teams (if more than two teams finish equal on points)
  3. Greater number of goals scored in matches among the tied teams (if more than two teams finish equal on points)
  4. Greater goal difference in all group matches
  5. Greater number of goals scored in all group matches
