  1. FIFA excluded 4 matches that I included:
    2021-08-26 Algeria - Syria 2:1 friendly in Qatar
    2021-08-29 Algeria - Burundi 3:0 friendly in Qatar
    2021-09-04 Burundi - Seychelles 8:1 match in a friendly 3 country tournament in Comoros
    2021-09-05 Bangladesh - Palestine 0:2 match in a friendly 3 country tournament in Kyrgyzstan

    Strange, the other matches in these last two friendly tournaments were included by FIFA.
