Discipline

edit

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:[20]

  • 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 2 Match 3 Points
                                   
  Qatar 1 –1
  Honduras 2 1 –3
  Panama 3 –3
  Grenada 2 2 –4

Notes

edit
  1. ^ The Qatar vs Panama match, originally scheduled at 19:00 EDT (UTC−4), was delayed until 20:50 EDT due to thunderstorms in the area.[6][7][8]
  2. ^ The Honduras vs Grenada match, originally scheduled at 21:00 EDT (UTC−4), was delayed until 23:10 EDT due to the weather delay in the first match between Qatar and Panama.[11]
