This was the highest-scoring women's football match ever at the Olympic Games, with the Netherlands' tally of ten goals is also a women's Olympic record.[5] It was also the highest-scoring match at the Olympics since 1928, when Italy beat Egypt 11–3 in the men's bronze medal match in Amsterdam.[6]
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:[1]
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 is applied to a player in a single match.
