## Discipline

Fair play points would have been 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:

* 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 were applied to a player in a single match.

| Team | Match 1 | Match 2 | Match 3 | Points |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| New Zealand | | | 1 | −1 |
| Canada | | | 2 | −2 |
| Netherlands | | | 2 | −2 |
| Cameroon | 2 | 3 | 1 | −6 |
