Group match means that when there are too many teams in a match, several teams are evenly assigned to play in a fair way, and then the winning team plays again until the final.
For example, in the final stage of the World Cup, 32 teams are divided into 8 groups by lottery, with 4 teams in each group, and the top two teams in each group will qualify for the semi-finals. After entering the semi-finals, 16 teams decided the schedule according to the established rules, no more lottery, and then single elimination matches were held until the champion was decided.
