Discipline

edit

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:[2]

  • 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.

Team Match 1 Match 2 Match 3 Points
                                   
  Germany 2 2 1 −5
   Switzerland 3 2 3 −8
  Scotland 1 1 3 1 −8
  Hungary 2 4[a] 5 −11
  1. ^ Count includes a card from a technical staff member of the team
