1The match was abandoned in the 61st minutes after North Korea walked off the pitch when firecrackers were thrown from the crowd; despite the instructions of the referee, North Korea refused to return to the pitch. The match was awarded 3–0 to Iran, but on the other hand, Iran were ordered to play their next home match in an official AFC or FIFA competition behind closed doors. [2]

2 The match was not played after North Korean immigration officials did not issue visas to Jordan's team, meaning they were refused entry into the country. The match was awarded 3–0 to Jordan and North Korea were banned from AFC competitions for a year and from qualifying for the 2007 Asian Cup. [2]
