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
Team					Points
Italy			1		−1
Switzerland	2	2	1		−5
Turkey	2	2	3		−7
Wales	1	2	2	1	−8
