In case teams are tied on points, the tiebreaking criteria are, in order of first application:[4]
- Results of the games involving the tied teams (head-to-head records)
- Goal average of the games involving the tied teams
- Goal average of all of the games played
- Points scored
- Drawing of lots
The teams with the four best records qualified for the knockout stage, which was a single-elimination tournament. The semifinal winners contested for the gold medal, while the losers played for the bronze medal.
