## Tiebreaker rules for qualification groups

Per uefa.com 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.
