# UEFA Euro 2020 Group E

Group E of UEFA Euro 2020 took place from 14 to 23 June 2021 in Saint Petersburg's Krestovsky Stadium and Seville's La Cartuja. The group contained host nation Spain, Sweden, Poland and Slovakia.
The matches were originally scheduled to be played at Bilbao's San Mamés and Dublin's Aviva Stadium. However, due to a lack of guarantees regarding spectators caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, UEFA announced on 23 April 2021 that the matches scheduled in Bilbao were moved to Seville, and the group stage matches scheduled in Dublin were reallocated to Saint Petersburg.

## Discipline

Fair play points were to be used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams were tied (and if a penalty shoot-out was not applicable as a tiebreaker). 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
Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player in a single match.
| Team | Match 1 | Match 1 | Match 2 | Match 3 | Points |
| Sweden | 1 | | 1 | 1 | −3 |
| Spain | | | 2 | 2 | −4 |
| Slovakia | 1 | | 3 | 2 | −6 |
| Poland | | 1 | 4 | 3 | −10 |
* ↑ Count includes a card from a technical staff member of the team
