Discipline

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:^[17]

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
Team								Points
Jamaica	1		3		1			–5
Suriname	3		2		2			–7
Costa Rica	4		3	1			1	–16
Guadeloupe	1	1	1		2	1	1	–16

Notes

^ The Costa Rica vs Jamaica match was stopped after two minutes of play due to thunderstorms in the area. The match was resumed at 21:20 EDT (UTC−4).^[12]^[13]
