Discipline
[edit ]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:[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 in a single match.
Team | Match 1 | Match 2 | Match 3 | Points | |||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Yellow card | Yellow card Yellow-red card | Red card | Yellow card Red card | Yellow card | Yellow card Yellow-red card | Red card | Yellow card Red card | Yellow card | Yellow card Yellow-red card | Red card | Yellow card Red card | ||
Italy | 1 | −1 | |||||||||||
Switzerland | 2 | 2 | 1 | −5 | |||||||||
Turkey | 2 | 2 | 3 | −7 | |||||||||
Wales | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | −8 |
