Tahiti, as the winner of the match over host nation Cook Islands, advanced to the Asia/Oceania play-off repechage, to play the winner of Round 3 of the Asian qualification process.
Tahiti were disqualified from progressing due to fielding ineligible players, so Cook Islands progressed to face Hong Kong instead.
