Just Need Something Cleared Up...

I remember some dude posted this same thing, and I commented on it but I cannot find that thread again, and I wanted to know the answer and forgot why it happends.

As I just had this happen;

Before the last game the table for my Europa league looked like this..

Getafe              - [b]11 Points[/b] (Q) - [color="Lime"][i]+15 GD[/i][/color]
Portsmouth          - [b]10 Points[/b]     -[color="Lime"][i] +6 GD[/i][/color]
Anderlecht          - [b]7 Points[/b]      - [color="Lime"][i]+3 GD[/i][/color]
Slovan Bratislava   - [b]0 Points[/b]      - [color="Red"][i]-24 GD[/i][/color]

The last game of the group was;

Getafe v Portsmouth

Anderlecht v Slovan Bratislava

We (being Portsmouth) lost 5-3, taking our goaldifference down to +4 and staying on 10 points.

Anderlecht beat Slovan 4-1, taking theres up to +6 and also on 10 points. Yet this happened;

Just wanted to know why I qualified that is all, as I thought I was out.

Cheers people.

what was ur other result against anderlecht at home??

Goes down to head to head results between the 2 teams in question. I'm presuming you did better against Anderlecht then they did against you.

Most likely you had a superior record against Anderlecht in your head to head games, as the CL qualification looks at this before overall goal difference

Ah that sounds very familiar actually.

Because I lost 3-2 away to them (2 away goals perhaps?) and beat them 2-1 at home (they get 1 away goal?) or the fact I scored 5 in total against them and they scored a total of 4 against me?

League sorting rules say results between teams are taken into account before goal difference, so that's why you would have qualified.

Edit: Just realised your question was already answered by others while I was off checking the CL rules.:o

I believe you each got 4...

Away goals is used to sort it in this case.

yep had a feeling it was down to head to head results

Ha No worries buddy, thanks for taking the time to check anyway!

Lmao! Oh my god, how on earth did I manage to count 5?

And to top it off, I have a qualification in Advanced Analytical Mathmatics :o
