applied when two (or more) teams finish equal on points:
========================================================
1) Points in mutual encounters between those teams.
2) Goal difference in mutual encounters between those teams.
3) Away goals in mutual encounters between those teams.
4) Total goal difference (against all other teams)
5) Total goals scored (against all other teams)
6) Total away goals scored (against all other teams)
7) Fair play
