The two teams' fate was confirmed at Mzuzu Stadium when they faced up in a derby and MK Academy got their first victory of the season with a revenge in a 1-0 win but it could not earn them survival in the League.

Esther Boko scored the lone goal in the early minutes of the second half for the hosts to secure a revenge over Moyale Sisters as they were hammered 4-1 in the first round.
