This way, SC Derby have tied themselves in the standings with Mega MIS and Igokea m:tel, as both of them hold 11 wins in their pockets, right on the edge of the Playoffs Zone.

With 4 minutes to go, it turned out that there was not enough time left on the game clock for FMP Soccerbet to turn the game upside-down again.
