Diambars, on the other hand, find themselves in 12th position with seven points.
Niarry Tally’s victory over RS Yoff moved them to seventh place, providing a much-needed boost in a tightly contested mid-table battle.
Meanwhile, RS Yoff’s poor form raises concerns about their ability to climb out of the relegation zone as the season progresses.
