Reading the bracket

Thirty-two teams reached the knockout stage: the top two from each of the twelve groups plus the eight best third-placed sides. Every round from there was a single match.

Scores are the result of the match itself. Where a tie needed more than ninety minutes it is marked a.e.t., and where it went to a shootout the penalty score is given separately, so a 1–1 that finished 3–4 on penalties reads as exactly that, not as 4–5.
