## 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.
| Team | Match 1 | Match 2 | Match 2 | Match 2 | Match 3 | Match 3 | Points |
| DR Congo | 2 | 1 | | | 1 | 1 | –8 |
| Ivory Coast | | 1 | 1 | | 2 | | –6 |
| Senegal | 1 | 1 | | 1 | 1 | | –7 |
| Uganda | 1 | 2 | | | 1 | | –4 |
