Six group matches (two from each group) took place on day one, before the same amount on days two and three. [5] The quarter-finals were held on day three with the semi-finals, third place play-off and final following on the last day of competition. There was no extra time or penalties in the group stage but a penalty shoot-out could have been played if a knockout fixture ended tied. [5] Group matches lasted for 20 minutes, while knockout fixtures lasted for 30 minutes, with short half-time breaks. [5]
