Asian play-off, second leg:  BAHRAIN 0-0 UZBEKISTAN  (Aggregate: 1-1) Bahrain win on away goals and go through to a play-off against Trinidad & Tobago or Guatemala. Uzbekistan will feel hard done by after winning the original first leg 1-0, only for it to be declared void. |

I hope these play offs make the telly, might be some good games there.
Why was the first playoff game with uzbekistan declared void?

Meh, the playoffs really shouldn't be seeded. Wasn't the Uzbekistan-Bahrain game declared void because of a refereeing blunder regarding a Uzbekistan penalty or something?  bizarre that they thought that justified a replay really... |

Maybe Bahrain contribute more money to the pot than uzbekistan?
