Acording to the wiki page yellow and red cards received will determine whether Saudi or N. Korea will advance.

They have N. Korea as second team to advance anyway

^True. Before it was Saudi Arabia that was listed 2nd. So it seems N. Korea advanced due to receiving a lower amount of cards...

but I think Saudi scored 5 goals as well

It's only in the matches involving the 3 tied teams Malavani jaan. North Korea had 3-3 and 2-2 ties (5 goals scored) while Saudi Arabia had 3-3 and 1-1 ties (4 goals scored) and Thailand had 2-2 and 1-1 ties (3 goals scored).

Therefore North Korea advance on higher goals scored.

pretty easy task for Qatar...

No, Ba-hornar jan is right:

Tiebreakers

The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers are applied in the following order:[11]

1. Greater number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
2. Goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
3. Greater number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned;

See. Everyone thought we will definitely face Saudi. But I said they have the least chance to go through. Now we see how important Qatar game was!

I don't get the tie breaker rules, could you explain them to me? Thank you.

Looking at the rule book, it looks like they had to use the Fair Play criteria for the ranking. N. Korea has 7 yellow cards, KSA has 9, team with the lowest points goes through.
