NZL Rory Fallon URU Sebastián Abreu URU Diego Lugano (1 goal each) For the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification, there were two scheduled inter-confederation play-offs to determine the final two qualification spots to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Qualified teams

The four teams participating were:

Confederation	Placement	Team
[AFC](2010-fifa-world-cup-qualification-afc)	[Fifth round (play-off)](2010-fifa-world-cup-qualification-afc-fifth-round) winner
[CONCACAF](2010-fifa-world-cup-qualification-concacaf)	[Fourth round](2010-fifa-world-cup-qualification-concacaf-fourth-round) 4th place
[CONMEBOL](2010-fifa-world-cup-qualification-conmebol)	Round-robin 5th place
[OFC](2010-fifa-world-cup-qualification-ofc)	[Second round](2008-ofc-nations-cup) winner

Format

The ties themselves were not drawn, but were allocated by FIFA as:

AFC fifth round winner v OFC second round winner
CONCACAF fourth round fourth place v CONMEBOL fifth place

This allocation allowed better start times of the matches than the previous one because teams were now in closer time zones. The draw for the order in which the two matches were played was held on 2 June 2009 during the FIFA Congress in Nassau, The Bahamas.
