FIFA says it has launched a disciplinary case against Myanmar after fans' violent behavior forced a 2014 World Cup qualifier against Oman to be abandoned.
Myanmar fans threw stones and water bottles on to the field and the referee stopped the match in second-half stoppage time with Oman leading 2-0 on Thursday.
FIFA confirms Oman's 2-0 victory as the official result, to complete a 4-0 aggregate win.
Oman advances to the third-round group stage of Asian qualifying that is drawn Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
