2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup Group A

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Group A is the first of three groups of the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup that took place from 20 to 26 February 2022.[1] The group competition consists of China PR, Chinese Taipei, hosts India and Iran.[2] The top two teams automatically qualify for the top eight knockout stage, while third place is comparatively evaluated to other third-placed teams based on the football ranking system for the last two berths.[3] The two teams that advanced are China PR and Chinese Taipei. Although Iran finished third in this set, they failed to make the quarter-finals as they are comparatively last to the other third-place teams.[4]

Notes:
  1. ^ India failed to name the required 13 players and were unable to play their match of the group stage against Chinese Taipei due to them having only fewer than 13 players left with the remaining team members testing positive for COVID-19. They were considered to have withdrawn from the competition, and all previous matches played by them shall be considered "null and void" and would not be considered in determining the final group rankings.[6]

Discipline

[edit]

Fair play points would have been used as tiebreakers in the group if the overall and head-to-head records of teams were tied, or if teams had the same record in the ranking of third-placed teams. These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows:[10]

  • 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
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
 China 1 2 –3
 Chinese Taipei 0
 Iran 1 –1
 India (H) WD
