Discipline

edit

Fair play points will be used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams are tied (and if a penalty shoot-out is not applicable as a tiebreaker). These are calculated based on yellow and red cards received 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 will be applied to a player in a single match.

Team Match 1 Match 2 Match 3 Points
                                   
  Croatia 0
  Spain 1 −1
  Italy 2 −2
  Albania 2 −2
