Discipline

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.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as football tournament group stage. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q115805160. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
