Notes

  1. [1]
    After the first half ended 0–0, the match was abandoned before the resumption of the second half, following a decision of the referee, due to uncertain adverse weather conditions and the associated player welfare considerations.[9] Later that day, FIFA declared the match a 0–0 draw and announced Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as joint third-place winners.[10]
