Group stage

In the group stage, four teams compete against each other in four groups in home and return matches. The group winners and runners-up qualified for the quarter-finals, while those placed third and fourth were eliminated from the competition. If two or more teams were tied, the placement was determined by the following criteria:

  1. Number of points in direct comparison
  2. Goal difference in direct comparison
  3. Number of goals in direct comparison
  4. Number of away goals in direct comparison
  5. If, after applying criteria 1 to 4, several teams still occupied the same place in the table, criteria 1 to 4 were reapplied, but only to the matches between the teams in question. Should this also not lead to a definitive placement, criteria 6 to 9 were applied.
  6. Goal difference from all group matches
  7. Number of goals in all group matches
  8. Number of away goals in all group matches
  9. Drawing lots
