Denmark vs Finland[]

In the 43rd minute, the match was suspended after Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch due to a cardiac arrest. Eriksen was transferred to Rigshospitalet where he was stabilised.[3][4][5] UEFA gave the players two options for restarting the match, either to resume later in the evening or the next day at 12:00 CEST. Only after receiving confirmation that Eriksen was awake, the Danish team agreed to continue the match that evening.[6] The match was resumed at 20:30, with the last four minutes of the first half to be completed prior to a five-minute half-time break.[7]

Discipline[]

Fair play points were to be used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams were tied (and if a penalty shoot-out was not applicable as a tiebreaker). These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows:[2]

  • yellow card = 1 point
  • red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points
  • direct red card = 3 points
  • yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points

Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player in a single match.

Team Match 1 Match 2 Match 3 Points
Yellow card Yellow card Yellow-red card Red card Yellow card Red card Yellow card Yellow card Yellow-red card Red card Yellow card Red card Yellow card Yellow card Yellow-red card Red card Yellow card Red card
 Belgium 1 −1
 Denmark 3 1 −4
 Finland 2 2 −4
 Russia 3 2 −5
