  2. Superior goal difference resulting from the matches played between the teams in question;

  3. Higher number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question;

  6. Superior goal difference in all group matches;

  7. Higher number of goals scored in all group matches;

  8. Higher number of away goals scored in all group matches;
