## 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 could be applied to a player in a single match.
| Team | Match 1 | Match 1 | Match 2 | Match 3 | Points |
| Israel | | | 1 | 2 | –3 |
| Japan | 2 | | 2 | | –4 |
| Mali | 1 | | 1 | 3 | –5 |
| Paraguay | 2 | 1 | 1 | 6 | –13 |
