Promotion/Relegation Playoff

NB: on Aug 30, Intare withdrew from the Azam Rwanda Premier League; because
    of this, an additional playoff was organised between the two relegated
    clubs (Gicumbi and Miroplast) and the losing semifinalists (Pepinière
    and Sorwathe).  Miroplast withdrew from the playoff; all matches were
    played at the Stade de Kigali.
