Tie-breaks: in the first stage, if teams are level on points the sequence is wins, goal difference, goals scored, fewer red cards, fewer yellow cards and then a draw, in the second stage head-to-head is added for a two-team tie and is calculated over the two matches, while head-to-head is not applied in multi-team ties.
