Discipline Fair play points were to be used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams were tied (and if a penalty shoot-out was not applicable as a tiebreaker). These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows: yellow card = 1 point red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points direct red card = 3 points yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points
Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player in a single match.
