This (from Wiki), seems to suggest that head-to-head is the first tie-break criteria:
From what I can make out Ukraine can only at best match N.Ireland, who beat them head-to-head. Out?
(there are 3 further criteria not shown)Tiebreakers
If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following tie-breaking criteria will be applied:[44]
- Higher number of points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question;
- Superior goal difference resulting from the matches played between the teams in question;
- Higher number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question;
- If, after having applied criteria 1 to 3, teams still have an equal ranking (e.g. if criteria 1 to 3 are applied to three teams that were level on points initially and these criteria separate one team from the other two who still have an equal ranking), criteria 1 to 3 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams who are still level to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 5 to 9 apply;
- Superior goal difference in all group matches;
- Higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
