  • The match was scratched and Saudi Arabia were awarded the bronze medal 2–0 after the North Korean team (including officials and competitors from other sports) were handed a two-year suspension for assaulting the referee, Vijit Getkaew of Thailand, and his linesman after the final whistle of their semi-final.
