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 Points
       
 Sudan 1 1 –2
 Madagascar 1 –1
 Ghana 3 2 1 –9

Notes

  1. ^ The third match day between Sudan and Madagascar, originally scheduled at Miloud Hadefi Stadium in Oran was transferred to Mohamed Hamlaoui Stadium after Morocco withdrew.
