Buffles 0-0 Espoir
Soleil awd Avrankou [awarded 0-0 win to Avrankou,
originally 2-0]
NB: the match Soleil vs Avrankou was awarded to the latter because Soleil
had originally listed Fatolou Prosper on the match documents, but had
removed his name prior to the start of the match; the player, who
allegedly had not completed the transfer formalities after leaving his
former club Espoir Plus before joining Soleil, neither played in the
match nor was he a substitute; nevertheless the match was awarded (a
long time after the season had finished) to Avrankou, thereby saving
them from relegation at the cost of Requins; the same Fatolou Prosper
had actively played in both matches Soleil won against Requins (on
Aug 31 and Oct 19), but these matches were not awarded to Requins (if
these matches would also have been awarded against Soleil, Soleil would
have finished on a relegation place). Avrankou Omnisports is the club
of the treasurer general of the FBF while the president of the executive
committee of the FBF is the main sponsor of Soleil.
