Each team will earn three points for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. The team with the most points at the end of each tie will advance.

Tie-breaking

The following criteria will be used for breaking ties on points[1]:

  1. Goal difference
  2. Goals scored
  3. Away goals
  4. Penalty shoot-out

Seeding

edit

The 16 qualified teams in the knockout round will be seeded according to their results in the group stage. The top teams from each group are seeded 1–8, with the team with the most points as seed 1 and the team with the least as seed 8. The second-best teams from each group are seeded 9–16, with the team with the most points as seed 9 and the team with the least as seed 16.
