On February 27, 2024, according to CCTV5 program list, there will be a rare penalty shootout in the European Cup group matches. How to rank them? How many times is this the European Cup? The last round of the European Cup group match ended last night, and the first two of the six groups and the third of the four groups with the best results reached the knockout stage. However, because the points and goal difference of several groups are the same, the number of qualification places and ranking order of some groups cannot be determined directly, but need to be determined through penalty shootout. This is a very rare situation in the history of the European Cup, and also gave the fans a thrilling visual feast.

First, let's take a look at Group C. The Netherlands easily won the first place in the group with a total victory of three games, while Ukraine and Austria were both 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, with the same points and goal difference. According to the rules, in this case, it is necessary to compare the winning and losing relationship between the two teams. As Austria defeated Ukraine 1-0 in the second round of the group game, Austria won the second place in the group and Ukraine was the third. Northern Macedonia, however, was defeated in three wars, and was not qualified.

Secondly, let's look at the situation of Group F. The final result of this group, called the group of death, was beyond many people's expectations. France won the first place in the group with a score of 1 win 2 draw, while Germany and Portugal both scored 1 win 1 draw 1 loss, with the same points and goal difference. According to the rules, in this case, it is necessary to compare the winning and losing relationship between the two teams. As Germany defeated Portugal 4-2 in the second round of the group match, Germany won the second place in the group and Portugal was the third. Hungary, on the other hand, was 1 level and 2 negative. Although it was 2-2 with Germany in the last round, it still failed to qualify.

Finally, let's look at Group E and Group D. The situation of these two groups is more complicated, because their third group has the same points and goal difference as the third group of other groups, and there is no direct relationship between them, so it is impossible to directly determine the number of qualified places and ranking order, but it needs to be determined through a point kick fight. This is the first time in the history of the European Cup, and it is also a very rare situation.

The third group in Group E is Slovakia, whose score is 1-2, with 3 points and a goal difference of - 2. The third group in Group D is the Czech Republic. Their score is 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, with 4 points and 0 goal difference. According to the rules, in this case, it is necessary to compare the ranking of the third place among different groups. Since the Czech Republic has higher points and goal difference than Slovakia, the Czech Republic directly enters the knockout phase, while Slovakia needs to fight with the third place in other groups on penalties.

The third group of other groups is Switzerland in Group A, Finland in Group B and Portugal in Group F. Their scores are 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, with 4 points and a goal difference of - 1. According to the rules, in this case, it is necessary to compare the ranking of the third place among different groups. Since their points and goal difference are the same, it is impossible to directly determine the number of qualified players and the ranking order, but it needs to be determined through penalty shoot outs.

Therefore, the four teams of Slovakia, Switzerland, Finland and Portugal had a rare penalty shoot out to determine the last two places and ranking order. The rule of the penalty shootout is that each team sends five players to take turns to take the penalty. If the winner is still not decided after five rounds, the penalty shootout will continue until one team makes a mistake. As a result of the penalty shootout, Portugal and Switzerland both defeated Slovakia and Finland 4-3 to advance to the knockout stage, while Slovakia and Finland were sadly out. In the ranking order between Portugal and Switzerland, because their penalty shootout results are the same, it is necessary to compare fair competition scores. However, because Portugal's fair competition scores are higher than Switzerland's, Portugal ranks higher.

In this way, the number of qualifying places and ranking order of the European Cup group match will be determined. The following is a picture of their knockout matches:
