Boavista was third place until their win over Tchadense at the 10th round and took Celtic's second-place position at the 11th round, Boavista scored the region's most with 30 goals Boavista attempted their battle to keep their second position, it became a kind of awkward as Boavista lost to a lesser powerful club of Celtic 2–1 and lost a position to third place where they are and thus ended their four-game winning streak. Another win came as they defeated the newcomer in their second challenge with Tira Chapéu with the result 1–0 and took the second position held by Celtic, they are still the leader in goal scoring totaling 32.
