Sfaxien have clinched the Tunisian league for the first time in eight years after coming back from behind to beat Club Africain. In the final playoff, Sfaxien needed a win to secure the title only to find themselves behind against Club Africain with a goal by Jodel Dossou in the 42nd minute. But Sfaxien, managed by former Zamalek and Egypt coach Rudd Krol, equalized before the break through Ferjani Sassi as Taoufik Salhi notched the winner on the hour mark. Holders and record champions Esperance missed out despite beating Etoile Sahel 2-1.
