2 The match was abandoned in the fourth quarter with 6:26 minutes remaining following arguments between Philippines coach Yeng Guiao and Jordan coach Joseph Steibing following a Jordanian player throwing a ball at Filipino player Scottie Thompson during a dead ball situation. Tensions began as early as the second quarter when Christian Standhardinger was hard fouled by a Jordanian player. Steibing called off the game.[6][7]
