1 The match was abandoned after 61 minutes with Iran leading 1–0 after North Korea walked off the pitch due to firecrackers 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, who were ordered to play their next home match in an official AFC or FIFA competition behind closed doors.
2 The match was abandoned after North Korean immigration officials refused Jordan's team entry into the country, claiming that they had failed to obtain the correct visa. The match was awarded 3–0 to Jordan, while North Korea were found guilty of improper conduct by the AFC, suspended from AFC competitions for one year, and banned from qualifying for the 2007 Asian Cup.
