Discipline

Fair play points would have been used as tiebreakers 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: −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 was applied to a player in a single match.

Team	Match 1	Match 2	Match 3	Points
Team				Points
Iraq	2	1		–3
Oman	3		2	–5
Yemen	1	3	2	–6
Saudi Arabia	2		2	–4
