Here's the deciding Rules:

If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings (in descending order):
a) higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;
b) superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question;
c) higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question;
d) higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches played among the teams in question;
e) if, after having applied criteria a) to d), two teams still have an equal ranking, criteria a) to d) are reapplied to determine the final ranking of the
two teams. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria f) to g)
apply;
f) superior goal difference from all group matches played;
g) higher number of goals scored fr om all group matches played;

Its hard to tell cuz the picture is still pretty small but it looks like you should advance on goal difference

There was a three-way tie at the top of your group. You played four matches against the teams that also had nine group points. You fared the worst of the three. Your head-to-head play wasn't strong enough.

I think maybe they changed the rules to give priority to head-to-head...so I'm guessing you lost to the guy in second?

[Simon Bender]

thank u

[Simon Bender]

whats that mean i won 3 out of 4 games

[Simon Bender]

sorry you saying i didnt go through coz i lost three well thats bull

[Simon Bender]

thats why you have a group stage who wins most game why would they do it who won more out of 4 games it don't make sense

Top11 uses the same tiebreaker rules as UEFA. If 3 teams are tied at the top of the group on points, they take away results against the 4th-placed team.

Given that you had no draws, the team in 4th must have drawn with each of the top 2 - so that subtracts 1 point off each. Teams 1 and 2 must have drawn with each other twice (since they each had 3 draws, and 1-each vs team 4). By inference, Team 1 beat you twice, and you had a win and a loss vs team 2.

Team 4 must have picked up its only win against the team that ended up first, and you must have beaten Team 4 twice.

After removing points vs the 4th team, you're left with
T1 7 points
T2 5 points
Bender 3 points

So teams 1 and 2 go through. It's unlucky for you*, but blame UEFA.
Basically, head to head team 1 was better than you (2 wins). And team 2 was level with you (1 win each) , however team 2 was also level with team 1 (2 draws), which gives him credit.



*If team 1 had played better vs team 4 and ei you might have gone through in a head-to-head vs team 2.
