Bahrain v Indonesia, 29 February 2012

Kick-off: 4.30pm local Prior to kick-off, Bahrain had to score at least nine goals to qualify for the next round and eliminate Qatar. They also needed Qatar to lose their game against Iran in Tehran on the same day but they drew 2–2 so Qatar progressed. FIFA immediately launched an investigation into the "unusual outcome" of the Bahrain game. Indonesia fielded an inexperienced team comprising mostly of reserve players. Bahrain manager Peter Taylor said: "We did nothing wrong. There is no need for us to speak to FIFA. To respect the competition, they should send their strongest team. Just because they couldn't qualify, it doesn't mean they should send their reserve team. "Bahrain can't do anything about that. All we can do is turn up and try and win a match. We should have won by more than ten. We missed two penalties." Lebanese referee Andre El Haddad sent off Indonesia's goalkeeper in the third minute and awarded Bahrain four penalties.
