  ## 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.
