Discipline
[edit]Fair play points would have been used as a tiebreaker 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: 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 could be applied to a player in a single match.
Team | Match 1 | Match 2 | Match 3 | Points | |||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Germany | 1 | 1 | –2 | ||||||||||
Australia | 1 | 1 | 1 | –3 | |||||||||
