## Discipline

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 was applied to a player in a single match.
| Team | Match 1 | Match 1 | Match 2 | Match 2 | Match 3 | Match 3 | Match 3 | Points |
| Jamaica | 1 | | 3 | | 1 | | | –5 |
| Suriname | 3 | | 2 | | 2 | | | –7 |
| Costa Rica | 4 | | 3 | 1 | | | 1 | –16 |
| Guadeloupe | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 2 | 1 | 1 | –16 |
