In the first set of matches, Switzerland beat Kuwait 9–3 and South Korea defeated Sweden 7–3 (with 3 double-losses). The second set saw Sweden beat Switzerland 8–4 (2 double-losses) and South Korea prevail against Kuwait 9–1. In the final set, Switzerland defeated South Korea 9–5; this margin put both teams at 2–1 but South Korea led in bouts (21–16 vs. 18–18) and thus secured advancement; Kuwait was also eliminated at 0–2 before its match with Sweden. The match between Sweden and Kuwait would determine whether Sweden or Switzerland advanced; Sweden had already lost 16 bouts going into the match, so (to stay ahead of Switzerland on the first tie-breaker, bouts lost) could lose no more than 2 bouts against Kuwait to advance. Sweden won 9–2, matching Switzerland on bouts lost (18 to 18) but advancing on the second tie-breaker, bouts won (20 to 18).

In the final round of matches of the final round of Asian qualification for the 1994 FIFA World Cup, Japan and Iraq drew 2–2 in Doha, Qatar. If Japan had won the match, they would have qualified for the World Cup for the first time. Instead, Japan finished third in their group, allowing their arch-rivals South Korea to qualify instead. The Japanese refer to the match as the "Agony of Doha", whereas South Koreans, because the country's national football team only qualified in the final minutes of this match, refers to it as the "Miracle of Doha".
