* ↑ Guinea were excluded on 19 March 2001 due to government interference in football. The results of their three matches were annulled.
The match was abandoned at 83 minutes with the score 0–2 after crowd trouble led police to fire tear gas in the stands, causing a mass panic in which 13 people were killed. The result after 83 minutes was allowed to stand.
