Notes [edit]

  1. ^ FIFA reports this match to be interrupted when Honduras was left with only 6 players on the field. However, FIFA's own official report gives no further reference on this. The RSSSF affirms the match was abandoned at 77', but this contradicts the data on the official report, which states a goal at 78'. It is uncertain then the exact minute at which the match was declared finished.
  2. ^ FIFA reports Doha Stadium as the one used in the final. However, no such stadium existed in Qatar at that time. The RSSSF indicates the Khalifa Stadium instead, which is something much more probable, since it was by then the only stadium in Doha with the capacity stated for this final.
