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.]
