What is the situation if two teams finish level on points at the group stage in Russia?

Each team plays one match against each of the other teams in the four-team group with three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss.

Who finishes above who will be decided by goal difference, not their head-to-head record.

If that is not conclusive then the greatest number of goals scored will decide.
