Regulations

When more than two teams are tied, the ranking was established taking into account the victories obtained in the games played only among them. Should the tie persist among some, but not all, of the teams, the ranking of the teams still tied was determined by again taking into account the victories in the games played only among them, and repeating this same procedure until the tie is entirely resolved. If a tie persists, the ranking was determined by the goal difference in favour and against in the games played only among the teams still tied.
