All four teams finished with four points, making it the first (and the only as of at least 2028) European Championship, and the first major tournament since Group E of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, where all teams in a group had the same amount of points. Ukraine became the first team to finish bottom of a European Championship group while earning as many as four points.

Discipline

Fair play points would have been used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams had been tied (and if a penalty shoot-out was not applicable as a tiebreaker). These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials in all group matches as follows:

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 or team official in a single match.
