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:^[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
Team				Points
Netherlands		1		−1
Ukraine	1	1		−2
Austria	1	2		−3
North Macedonia	2	2	4	−8
