The results gave Esperance an unreachable four-point lead at the top of the league on 56 points with one match to go and left Etoile in second spot.

Amin Al-Latif and Al-Arabi Jaber scored for Esperance while Yves Jupiter pulled on back for the hosts.

Esperance and Etoile will represent Tunisia in the African Champions League next season regardless the result of their match in the last round of the league.
