The football match of the Asian Games is a competition between the youth football teams of Asian countries, and each game attracts a large number of fans' attention. In order to decide which teams can advance to the next round, there are a series of qualifying rules for Asian Games football matches.
First of all, the football team of the Asian Games is usually divided into several groups, and the team of each group plays a single round robin game. The ranking of points in the group stage is an important basis for deciding to qualify.
The integral calculation method is: 3 points for each win, 0 points for a draw/kloc-0, and 0 points for a loss.
After the group stage, according to the points ranking, the top two in each group advanced to the knockout stage. If two or more teams score the same, the following factors will be considered to determine the ranking:
1. Goal difference: Goal difference refers to the difference between the number of goals scored and the number of goals conceded by a team in the group match. The more goal difference, the higher the ranking.
2. The total number of goals scored in the group stage: If the goal difference is the same, the team with more goals scored in the group stage ranks in the top.
3. Direct confrontation result: If the two teams meet in the group stage with the same points, goal difference and total goals, the direct confrontation result between the two teams will become the key factor to determine the ranking.
If the above three factors still can't determine the outcome, then other methods are used to rank, such as drawing lots.
After the group stage has advanced to the qualifying stage, the next stage is the knockout stage. The form of knockout is usually a single-loss knockout, that is, the team that loses one game does not advance to the next round, and the winning team moves on.
The result of the knockout will be decided in the normal time. If the game ends in a draw, there will be overtime and penalty shootout until the outcome is decided.
Finally, after the knockout, the last two teams competed for gold and silver medals, and the other two teams competed for bronze medals.
In short, the qualifying rules of the Asian Games football match are mainly determined according to the points ranking of the group matches. Goal difference, total number of goals and direct confrontation results are important factors in determining the ranking. In the knockout stage, the single defeat elimination system was adopted, and the ownership of gold, silver and bronze medals was finally decided. These rules are designed to ensure the fairness and competitiveness of the competition.
