Notes

  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, who took into consideration the length of time of the stoppage of the match due to ongoing and uncertain adverse weather conditions and the associated player welfare considerations. [9] Later that day, FIFA decided to declare Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates joint third-place winners. [10]
