If 2 teams have the same point in the table, their goal difference and goal scored is also same, then both teams occupy the same position in the table. Or in other words, their position is the same amongst all teams. In case there is a tie between two or more teams for the championship, relegation a play-off match at a neutral venue decides the rank. A play-off match is also scheduled in case two or more teams tie for qualification to other competitions.
