Championship Playoff
NB: clubs only play those of other group twice; head-to-head results from the initial group
stage are not carried over; for the sake of completeness, these were as follows:
Poule A
1.ASPAC (Cotonou) 4 2 1 1 3- 1 7
4.Buffles du Borgou de Parakou (Borgou) 4 1 2 1 2- 2 5

3.AS Oussou Saka (Porto-Novo) 4 1 3 0 2- 1 6
6.JA Cotonou 4 0 2 2 2- 4 2
NB: while including those results would eventually have made no difference on the destination
of the title, it is hard to see the justification for omitting them.
