Teams in the group will be ranked according to the following criteria: the total score of the group match; Total ball difference in group match; If the above data of each team are the same, they will be ranked according to the following methods: the competition results of the relevant teams in the group stage will be decided by the preparatory Committee; The top two in each group and the best third place will advance to the semi-finals. The calculation method of the two best third-place teams is the same as the above group ranking standard. In the previous Copa America, the final of 1/4 entered the final with a 90-minute draw. Without overtime, it was decided by shooting directly at the opponent 12 yards. This year's Copa America competition system is slightly different from the previous 1/4 finals. After a 90-minute draw, the two sides will play another 30 minutes of overtime, and then the draw will enter the penalty shootout. In the past, the knockout rounds of the America's Cup were all penalty shootouts after a 90-minute draw.
