## 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:

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

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

Team  | Match 1  | Match 2  | Points

|
|
|

|  |  |  |  |  |  |
Sudan | 1 |  |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | –2
Madagascar | 1 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | –1
Ghana | 3 |  |  |  | 2 |  | 1 |  | –9

## Notes

[edit]

1. ^ The third match day between Sudan and Madagascar, originally scheduled at Miloud Hadefi Stadium in Oran was transferred to Mohamed Hamlaoui Stadium after Morocco withdrew.
