2010 World Cup Qualifiers results - 22.06.2008

Another home-win day for African zone yesterday, after ALL BUT ONE ended with a home win. The only exception was Zimbabwe's 0:0 draw with Kenya. In other zones, Uzbekistan suffered a heavy defeat in Saudi Arabia (0:4), but this match had no effect on the final outcome of the qualifiers, as both of the teams had already secured advancement to the next stage. Iraq played Qatar in Dubai and lost 0:1, which allowed Qatar to go through to the next round. UAE lost to Syria 1:3 at home but still go through, because of better goal difference. This goal scored yesterday saved them, because Syria needed to win by three goals or more. In CONCACAF all eyes were focused on Netherlands Antilles, who could eliminate Haiti and sensationally go through, but they were eventually stopped. Haiti won 1:0 and went through. Another surprise package - Bermuda - also failed to defend their first leg lead (2:1) and lost at home to Trinidad & Tobago 0:2 and as a result were eliminated.
