Group B with only two teams left to qualify as runner-up best omitted.

The tournament committee has now made Group B a two-legged format. However, the away goals rule will not apply as the match will be played centrally.

If in the second match Malaysia and Laos are evenly matched on aggregate, then the match will continue to 2×15 minutes of extra time.

Aggregates that remain balanced after extra time will make the team qualify for the semifinals determined via penalty shootout.
