## Discipline

The team conduct ("fair play") score will be used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams are tied. It will also be used as a tiebreaker for the third-place ranking between groups if the overall records of teams are tied. The score will be calculated based on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials in all group matches as follows:

* 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 can be applied to a player or team official in a single match.

| Team | Match 1 | Match 2 | Match 3 | Score |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |   |  |   |  |   |  |   |  |   |  |   |
|  Switzerland | 1 |  |  |  | 1 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | −2 |
|  Canada | 2 |  |  |  | 1 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | −3 |
|  Bosnia and Herzegovina | 3 |  |  |  | 2 |  | 1 |  |  |  |  |  | −9 |
|  Qatar | 2 |  |  |  | 1 |  | 2 |  |  |  |  |  | −11 |
