## Discipline

Fair play points would be used as tiebreakers in the group if the overall and head-to-head records of teams were tied, or if teams had the same record in the ranking of third-placed teams. These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows:

* 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

| Team | Match 1 | Match 2 | Match 3 | Points |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| Myanmar | | 1 | | –1 |
| Japan | | 2 | | –2 |
| South Korea | | 2 | 1 | –3 |
| Vietnam | 1 | 1 | 1 | –3 |
