Ranking of second-placed teams
In order to ensure equality when comparing the runners-up team of all the groups, the results of the matches between the runner-up team and the bottom-placed team (for Groups D, F, G, H and I, which consist of four teams) or two sides from the bottom (for Groups A and B, which consist of five teams) were considered null and void due to Group C and Group E having only three teams participating in the qualifiers.
The best runner-up teams among those ranked second in the groups were determined as follows:
- Greater number of points obtained from group matches identified by AFC
- Goal difference resulting from group matches identified by AFC
- Greater number of goals scored in group matches identified by AFC
- Fewer number of points calculated according to the number of yellow and red cards received by the team in the group matches identified by AFC
- Drawing of lots.
