## Discipline

[edit]

Fair play points were used as a tiebreaker between Denmark and Slovenia, as they were tied on their head-to-head and overall results and a penalty shoot-out was not applicable as a tiebreaker. These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials in all group matches as follows:[5]

* 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 or team official in a single match.

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

|
|
|
|

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
England |  |  |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | –4
Denmark | 1 |  |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 2 |  |  |  | –6
Slovenia | 3[a] |  |  |  | 2 |  |  |  | 2 |  |  |  | –7
Serbia | 3 |  |  |  | 4 |  |  |  | 2 |  |  |  | –9

1. ^ Count includes a card from a technical staff member of the team.
