  * ↑ The Netherlands v Cyprus match originally finished as an 8–0 win for the Netherlands, but the match was marred by crowd violence. The Cypriot goalkeeper Andreas Charitou was injured by a homemade bomb which exploded close to him. Therefore the result was annulled and the match was ordered to be replayed behind closed doors.
