The India U-23 team has put up a formidable show in the ongoing AFC U-23 Asian Cup Qualifiers. They beat Oman 2-1 and could have earned a point against UAE but for a penalty which allowed The Whites to pick up the three points.
In other matches of Group E, Kyrgyzstan pulled off a surprise when they beat UAE, but in their next match lost to Oman. This means that all four teams have identical statistics in the table and have a chance to sail through to the next round. Let us have a look at the table for further clarity.
Most number of points obtained in the league matches.
However, if two or more teams are equal on points, then their place shall be determined as follows
2. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams. 3. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams. 4. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams. 5. If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams. 6. Goal difference in all group matches. 7. Goals scored in all group matches. 8. Penalty shoot-out if only two teams are tied and they met in the last round of the group. 9. Disciplinary points (yellow card = 1 point, red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points, direct red card = 3 points, yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points); 10. Drawing of lots.
