  1. Goal difference in all the group matches;
  2. Greater number of goals scored in all the group matches;
  3. If, after applying criteria 1 and 2, teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 and 2 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 4 to 8 apply;
  4. Penalty shoot-out if only two teams are involved and they are both on the field of play;
  5. Fewest red cards
  6. Fewest yellow cards
  7. Team who belongs to the member association with the higher AFC ranking.
