Tiebreaker rules for qualification groups
Per uefa.com[1] the criteria used to rank two or more teams even on points are:
- Points earned in head-to-head matches
- Goal difference in head-to-head matches
- Goals scored in head-to-head matches
- Goal difference in all group matches
- Goals scored in all group matches
- 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.
