Discipline

Fair play points would have been used as tiebreakers if the overall and head-to-head records of teams were tied. These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows:

• first yellow card: −1 point;
• indirect red card (second yellow card): −3 points;
• direct red card: −4 points;
• yellow card and direct red card: −5 points;

Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player in a single match.

Team	Match 1	Match 2	Points
	1				1				–2
	1								–1
	3				2		1		–9
