2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Group D

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Group D of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup was one of eight groups that formed the opening round of the tournament with the matches played from 22 July to 1 August 2023.[1] The group consisted of England, Haiti, Denmark and China. The top two teams, England and Denmark, advanced to the round of 16.[2]

China failed to qualify for the Women's World Cup knockout stage for the first time ever, while England avoided that fate by winning all three group fixtures for only the second time and scoring more group stage goals than ever before. Denmark qualified for the Women's World Cup knockout stage for the first time since 1995, a tournament where both they and England were eliminated in the quarter-finals.

Discipline

[edit]

Fair play points would have been used as tiebreakers in the group should 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:[2]

  • 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
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
 Denmark 1 1 –2
 England 2 1 –3
 Haiti 1 1 –2
 China 1 –4
