Discipline

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

Team Match 1 Match 2 Match 3 Points
           
 Netherlands 1 −1
 Ukraine 1 1 −2
 Austria 1 2 −3
 North Macedonia 2 2 4 −8
