Discipline

edit

Fair play points were used as a tiebreaker between Denmark and Slovenia, as they were tied on their head-to-head and overall results and 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:[5]

  • 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
                                   
  England 1 3 –4
  Denmark 1 3 2 –6
  Slovenia 3[a] 2 2 –7
  Serbia 3 4 2 –9
  1. ^ Count includes a card from a technical staff member of the team.
