On this state of affairs, if Ecuador goes on to beat Germany, each groups would have six factors in group play, however Ecuador would have the “best variety of factors obtained within the group matches between the groups involved,” and would win the group. But when Ecuador loses or ties in opposition to Curaçao, then this tiebreaker can’t come into play.
