Also, both Guam and Nepal would play against each other. Nepal withdrew first, so Guam progressed but Guam withdrew later. So, FIFA decided to elect a "lucky loser", to find the best of the teams that lost, who would also advanced to the Second Round. The losers were compared, using the following criteria to break ties: a) number of points; b) goal difference; c) goals scored.
Team | Pld | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Laos | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | −3 | 1 |
Bangladesh | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 4 | −4 | 0 |
Macau | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 6 | −5 | 0 |
Pakistan | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 6 | −6 | 0 |
Afghanistan | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 13 | −13 | 0 |
Mongolia | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 13 | −13 | 0 |
