After losing 2–1 to Denmark in their opening match, Uruguay drew France 0–0 and in the final match they also drew 3–3 to Senegal despite being 3–0 down, finishing third in the group on two points. Australia qualified automatically for the 2002 OFC Nations Cup, being drawn into a group with Vanuatu, Fiji and New Caledonia and winning 2–0, 11–0 and 8–0 respectively. In the semi-finals against Tahiti, the Socceroos had to rely on a golden goal from Damian Mori in extra time to secure a 2–1 win and progression to the final against New Zealand, where they lost 1–0. New Zealand qualified for the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup. Australia and Uruguay met again in the 2005 CONMEBOL-OFC play-off, with heightened security measures following the 2001 airport incident in Montevideo. This time, however, Australia came out victorious.
