On May 6, 2024, according to CCTV5 program list, with the fierce progress of the European Cup group match, the same points frequently appear. How to rank has become the focus of fans and the media. In this case, the ranking rules of UEFA are particularly important. According to the rules, if there are teams in the group with the same points, the teams that qualify will be determined in the following order: winning/losing relationship>goal difference>number of goals>score in fair competition>UEFA ranking [^ 1 ^] [3].
This rule means that even if the points of two teams are the same, the ranking will not be determined simply by drawing lots, but will be distinguished by a series of specific match data. This not only increases the fairness of the game, but also improves the enjoyment of the game, because every goal and every victory may become the key to determine the fate of the team.
The following is the data comparison of two teams with the same points in a group at present:
team |
Win lose relationship |
Goal difference |
Number of goals |
Team A |
win |
three |
ten |
Team B |
negative |
one |
eight |
It can be seen from the table that although the two teams have the same points, team A will be ahead of team B according to the winning/losing relationship. If the relationship between victory and defeat is the same, the net goal and the number of goals will be compared. Such rules ensure that every game is full of suspense, and every team must go all out.
In this European Cup, such rules have affected the ranking results of many groups, making every minute of the group match exciting. Fans also pay more attention to each game because any small detail may change the fate of the team they support. This is not only a contest between teams, but also a contest of strategy and wisdom.
