''Note:'' The OFC disciplinary committee ruled that 7 of [[PanSa East FC|PanSa]]'s 18 players were not registered according to international transfer rules, some of which had been fielded in their first two matches.  The first two matches were thus awarded 2–0 to the opposition, whilst [[PanSa East FC|PanSa]] were unable to field a team in the 3rd match (which was not played, and subsequently awarded 2–0 to [[Tafea FC|Tafea]]). [[PanSa East FC|PanSa]] then withdrew from the competition, causing their fourth match to be awarded 2–0 to [[Titavi FC|Titavi]].
