2006 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONMEBOL)
Qualification for championships (CONMEBOL) |
---|
Listed below are the dates and results for the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification rounds for South America. 10 teams took part, all in a single group. The rules were very simple: the teams would play against each other in a home-and-away basis, with the four teams with most points qualifying to the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The fifth ranked team would have to play-off against the best team from Oceania, with the winner of this play-off also qualifying. For the first time, Brazil, the defending champion, was required to go through qualification and was not automatically qualified for the tournament.
Tiebreakers[]
If teams were even on points at the end of group play, the tied teams were ranked by:[1]
- Greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned
- Goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned
- Greatest number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned
- Goal difference in all group matches
- Greatest number of goals scored in all group matches
- A play-off on neutral ground. If, after 90 minutes, this match ended in a draw, two 15-minute periods of extra time would be played. If the score was still level after extra time, a penalty shoot-out would determine the winner.
This was a change from the 2002 FIFA World Cup, where total goal difference was the first tiebreaker.
