2013 CECAFA Cup group stage
The order of tie-breakers used when two or more teams have equal number of points is:
# Number of points obtained in games between the teams involved;
# Goal difference in games between the teams involved;
# Goals scored in games between the teams involved;
# Away goals scored in games between the teams involved;
# Goal difference in all games;
# Goals scored in all games;
# Drawing of lots. Since Kenya and Ethiopia could not be separated using the tie-breaking criteria, a coin toss was used as the drawing of lots to determine the winner of Group A.
