## Discipline[edit]

Fair play points would have been used as tiebreakers if the overall and head-to-head records of teams were tied. These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows:[3]

* first yellow card: minus 1 point;
* indirect red card (second yellow card): minus 3 points;
* direct red card: minus 4 points;
* yellow card and direct red card: minus 5 points;

Only one of the above deductions were applied to a player in a single match.

Team  | Match 1  | Match 2  | Match 3  | Points

|
|
|
|

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Mexico |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | –1
Canada | 1 |  |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | −3
Martinique | 1 |  |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | −7
Cuba | 1 |  |  |  | 3 | 1 |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | −10
