Discipline

Fair play points would have been used as a tiebreaker should 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: minus 1 point;
  • indirect red card : minus 3 points;
  • direct red card: minus 4 points;
  • yellow card and direct red card: minus 5 points;
Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player in a single match.
