Note: The OFC disciplinary committee ruled that 7 of 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 were unable to field a team in the 3rd match (which was not played, and subsequently awarded 2-0 to Tafea FC). PanSa then withdrew from the competition, causing their fourth match to be awarded 2-0 to Titavi FC.
