Guam and Nepal were scheduled to play against each other on November 21 and 25; Nepal withdrew, so Guam progressed to the 2nd round, but Guam later withdrew.
FIFA then decided to elect a "lucky loser", to select the best of the teams that lost, to advance to the Second Round.
The losers were compared, using the following criteria to break ties: a) number of points; b) goal difference; c) goals scored.
| Team | Pld | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laos | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | −3 | 1 |
| Bangladesh | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 4 | −4 | 0 |
| Macau | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 6 | −5 | 0 |
| Pakistan | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 6 | −6 | 0 |
| Afghanistan | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 13 | −13 | 0 |

Famous quotes containing the word round:
“Violence upon the roads: violence of horses;
Some few have handsome riders, are garlanded
On delicate sensitive ear or tossing mane,
But wearied running round and round in their courses
All break and vanish, and evil gathers head:
Herodias’ daughters have returned again.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
