  3. Goals scored in all group matches;
  4. Points obtained in matches between the teams concerned;
  5. Goal difference in matches between the teams concerned;
  6. Goals scored in matches between the teams concerned;
  7. Fair play points in all group matches (only one deduction per player per match):
    • Yellow card: −1 point;
    • Indirect red card (second yellow): −3 points;
    • Direct red card: −4 points;
    • Yellow card and direct red card: −5 points;
  8. Latest FIFA Men's World Ranking.
