Discipline Fair play points would have been used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams had been tied (and if a penalty shoot-out was not applicable as a tiebreaker). These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials 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 or team official in a single match.
