=Ranking of second-placed teams=

To determine the two best second-placed teams, the following criteria were used:

  1. Number of points obtained in the group matches
  2. Goal difference in the group matches
  3. Greater number of goals scored in the group matches
  4. Fewer score calculated according to the number of yellow and red cards received in the group matches (1 point for each yellow card, 3 points for each red card as a consequence of two yellow cards, 3 points for each direct red card, 4 points for each yellow card followed by a direct red card)
  5. Drawing of lots

For this ranking, the non-participation of Brunei in Group E meant that the results of the matches in the four other groups between the runner-up and the bottom-placed team were declared null and void based on Article 16.1 and Appendix 2 of the tournament regulations.{{cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/afc-challenge-cup-2014/afc-challenge-cup-2014-line-up-confirmed|title=AFC Challenge Cup 2014 line-up confirmed|publisher=AFC|date=28 March 2013}}
