However, the clubs agreed to increase the number of clubs in the league to seven, and thus no playoff was needed. [1] o Ferroviário e o Atlético deveriam ter disputado um desempate e o perdedor jogaria um "rebolo" contra o Racing, vencedor da Segunda Divisão, que pela primeira vez deu uma vaga para a Primeira Divisão. Contudo, os clubes concordaram em aumentar para sete o número de clubes no campeonato e dessa forma não houve desempate nem rebolo.
