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 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cameroon | 2 | –2 | |||||||
| Congo | 1 | 2 | –3 | ||||||
| Niger | 1 | 2 | –3 | ||||||
