Uzbekistan Cup. Is it useless if "Pakhtakor" won by a score of 9:0? If "Nasaf" wins by a score of 1:0, will they be eliminated from the group?

Today, the matches of the 3rd round of the Uzbekistan Cup have started. Many people have a lot of questions about the situation in Group H.

If Pakhtakor, OKMK and Nasaf are tied on points in the last round, what will be considered first? Who will advance to the next stage?

According to the regulations, if two or more participants are tied on points, their places will be determined in the following order:
1. by the results of the head-to-head matches;
2. by the results of the points scored in head-to-head matches;
3. by the difference in goals scored and conceded in head-to-head matches;
4. by the difference in goals scored and conceded in all matches;
5. by the number of goals scored in all matches;
6. by the number of goals scored on the opponent's field in all matches;
7. by the number of victories achieved in all matches;
8. by the number of away wins in all matches;
9. by the negative effect of the number of home losses in all matches.

In our case, let's say that "Nasaf" defeated "Pakhtakor" by one goal (1:0, 2:1, 3:2, etc.) and increased its points to 6. OKMK defeated "Navoi FA" by any score and increased its points to 6.

In this case, the number of points for three clubs will be 6, and it is these three clubs' mutual matches that count. The matches against "Navoi FA" are excluded.

It is important to note that all the indicators in the first three rows of the above regulation will be equal:
- "Pakhtakor" 3 points, goal difference 0
- OKMK 3 points, goal difference 0
- "Nasaf" 3 points, goal difference 0

Now let's move on to the fourth row of the regulation: according to the difference in goals scored and conceded in all matches; In this case, the matches against "Navoi FA" will also remain valid and the total goal difference in the group will be considered.

The current situation is as follows:
- "Pakhtakor" goal difference +10
- "Nasaf" goal difference +3
- OKMK goal difference 0

If "Nasaf" wins by one goal, it will be +4, and for "Pakhtakor" it will be +9. That is, the fact that the "lions" took the main players to Karmana and won by a large margin is a plus here.

So, everything remains in the match OKMK - "Navoi FA". In order for the Almalyk club to advance to the next stage, it is necessary to win by as large a margin as possible.
