Fair play points would have been used as a tiebreaker 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: minus 1 point;
 * indirect red card (second yellow 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 is applied to a player in a single match.
