Legal claims
Leões de Luanda won a claim against Petro de Luanda for the latter fielding ineligible player João Machado (he was supposed to be suspended for a double yellow card) in their first leg match for the 8th round played on 11th July. Petro had originally won the game by 2-1. As a result, Leões were awarded 2 pts and Petro subsequently forfeited 2 pts.
In another case, the so called Caso Rafael, in which Leões de Luanda fielded an ineligible player named Rafael, Leões de Luanda forfeited a total five points and was therefore relegated. Subsequently, all clubs involved in games where such player took part were awarded the lost points as follows: Mambroa (2 pts), FC Uíge (2 pts) and Desportivo da Chela (1 pt).
In another dispute, Desportivo da Chela was awarded 1 point as a result of the so-called Caso Felix, in its claim against Ferroviário da Huíla. Subsequently, Ferroviário forfeited 1 pt.
