The team with the greater margin of victory wins the group. If the same margin, the team that scores the most wins the group, if that is level, the group winner is decided by a drawing of lots. |

Italy needs to win by 3 goals to finish first. If Italy win by 2, it comes down to total goals (Paraguay 3, Italy 2), and if that is level, the drawing of lots. |
