  ## Promotion playoff
  
  This game was played between the 12th of Ligue 1 and the 3rd of Ligue 2.
  
  Match stopped after 62 minutes because EGS Gafsa players left the pitch as a protest against the referee who was "clearly against them" and declared that they "couldn't play a football match in such conditions".
