On March 21, 2024, according to CCTV5 program list, there were a lot of draws in the group stage of this European Cup, which posed a great challenge to the ranking of points. In the case of many teams with similar points, how to calculate the ranking, and what is the basis for the ranking of teams with the same points, has become the focus of fans. According to the regulations of UEFA, the first consideration for the ranking of points in group matches is the ranking of those with more points. If the points are the same, they need to be compared in a specific order, including the winning/losing relationship of the direct dialogue, the number of net goals, the number of goals, etc.
The following is a hypothetical table of group match points, which shows how to determine the ranking according to the rules of the European Cup when a draw occurs:
team |
integral |
Goal difference |
Number of goals |
Win or lose of direct dialogue |
Team A |
five |
+3 |
eight |
Winning Team B |
Team B |
five |
+2 |
six |
Negative team A |
Team C |
five |
+1 |
five |
Tie team A/B |
Team D |
one |
-6 |
two |
Lose all teams |
In this example, although the points of team A, B and C are the same, team A ranks the highest according to the winning/losing relationship of direct dialogue. If the direct conversation is also a draw, then the net goal and the number of goals will be compared. In this case, team A is ranked first because of the largest number of net wins and goals, and team B and team C need to further compare.
This way of ranking ensures the fairness and intensity of the game, and every team will go all out for a better ranking. In the next game, the teams will show more fierce competition and bring more exciting games to the fans. Let's wait and see which teams can stand out in this fierce competition and win the precious quota for the group qualification.
