Notes

  1. ↑ The match was abandoned in the 60th minute with the score at 1–1 because of an all-in brawl. The Disciplinary Committee found the Indonesian team guilty of violent conduct and awarded the match to Thailand.
  2. ↑ Indonesia did not arrive at the appointed time; after waiting for 15 minutes, the referee abandoned the match and referred the matter to the technical committee. The bronze medal was awarded to Burma.
