Kuwait games forfeited

Due to the sports law changes in Kuwait and its national FA not independent, FIFA decided its fate about the two unplayed games last month. On 24 March Laos supposed to play in Kuwait while five days later Kuwait had to travel to South Korea. Those games were cancelled because of the Kuwait FA (KFA) suspension and today it was confirmed by the worlds football governing body that both matches were forfeited. Besides that, KFA is also fined with 15.000 Swiss francs (13.754 euros).
Both forfeited results did not had any meaning to the final position in group G. From the group South Korea qualified as champions while second place Lebanon missed the chance to be one of the four lucky winners to progress through to round three.
