Ranking of losing teams
Both Guam and Nepal would have played against each other to decide who progresses to the next round. After Nepal withdrew first, Guam would have progressed but Guam withdrew later as well. So, FIFA decided to elect a "lucky loser", to find the best of the teams that lost, who would also advance 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 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | −3 | 1 |
![]() | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 4 | −4 | 0 |
![]() | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 6 | −5 | 0 |
![]() | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 6 | −6 | 0 |
![]() | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 13 | −13 | 0 |
![]() | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 13 | −13 | 0 |
