Third Place Match [Jun 1]
Iran        n/p Ghana       
  [Iran waited for 35 minutes on the pitch, while Ghana did not show
   up at all, apparently demanding prize money for the fourth place
   finishers (uncommon in LG tournaments).  Eventually Iran left, without
   obtaining any information from the Nigerian 'organisers'.  One day
   later, the Nigerian FA awarded Ghana third place (and the relevant
   prize money) because Iran had left the pitch (sic!).  Iran have
   understandably protested.]
