Discipline

Fair play points would have been used as tiebreakers should the overall and head-to-head records of teams are tied. These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows:^[3]

• 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 is applied to a player in a single match.

Team	Match 1				Match 2				Match 3				Points
Mexico	2				1				2				–5
Suriname	2								4				–6
Costa Rica	1				4				5				–10
Dominican Republic	3				4				2		1		–13
