Tiebreakers

The teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams were equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following tie-breaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings:

Higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;
Superior goal difference resulting from the group matches played among the teams in question;
Superior goal difference in all group matches;
Superior ratio of goals in all group matches, resulting from the number of goals scored divided by the number of goals conceded;
Higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
If only two teams had the same number of points, and they were tied according to criteria 1 to 5 after having met in the last round of the group stage, their rankings were determined by a direct free kick shoot-out (not used if more than two teams had the same number of points, or if their rankings were not relevant for qualification for the next stage).

All times are Portugal Summer Time (UTC+01:00).
