 FINA invalidated the match and ordered a replay.Because the results of the match were not necessary to determine qualification for the semifinals (both teams would advance regardless), and because the two teams were drawn into the same semifinal group, the replay was not held until the semifinal round though Yugoslavia's 2–1 win ultimately counted in the standings for the first round group.The 8 semifinalist teams were again divided into pools of 4 teams each.
