  1. Head to head matches between the tied teams (if applicable)

  3. Greatest number of goals scored in the three group matches
  4. If teams are still tied, CONCACAF will hold a drawing of lots

Controversy

During the last minutes of the semi-final match between Canada and the U.S.A., Canada's Atiba Hutchinson scored a goal that would have equalised the score for Canada. However, a linesman erroneously indicated that Hutchinson was offside, and the referee Benito Archundia subsequently nullified Hutchinson's goal. Video replays showed that the football came into contact with the U.S.A.'s defender Oguchi Onyewu immediately before Hutchinson scored the goal.[3][4][5] Therefore, according to the laws of the game, there was no offside offence for Hutchinson.[3][4][5]

Notes

  1. ↑ Guadeloupe, an overseas department of France, is not a member of FIFA. Had they won the tournament, the runner-up would have taken their place.[citation needed]
