Notes
  1. At the end of the tournament, Yugoslavia were declared winners because of their better goal average (the standard tie-breaker at the time); Bulgaria protested, stating that if the match between Yugoslavia and Romania had finished regularly, the former's goal record might have changed, but after a one-year procedure, the protest was rejected and Yugoslavia remained winners.[1]
  2. Abandoned at 0–2 in the 78th minute due to a thunderstorm, the result stood.[1]
