Notes: Denmark's team was the "Ligalandshold" (League national team), consisting
only of Danish players based at Danish clubs. Their matches are considered
unofficial internationals by the DBU. The Chinese team was described in
Chinese sources as a "national selection", which has been interpreted here
as a B-team. The full China national team was away on a training programme
in Brazil during this period.
