Sheriff won the derby match against Zimbru in the evening of May 15, but no longer has chances of winning the 14th title of champion in its history because Dacia and Milsami also scored victories in the 30th stage, IPN reports.

Thus, the winner of the current season will be decided in the last round in Orhei, where Milsami will meet Dacia. Milsami must win a victory, while Dacia will do with a draw.

Milsami recently defeated Zaria 5-0 through the goals scored by Andronic (34th minute), Patras (57th), Bud (63rd, 81st) and Suvorov (83rd), while Dacia demolished Academia 8-1 owing to the goals scored by Barakhoev (15th), Dvali (39th-pen), Zagynailov (54th), Leuca (59th, 69th, 71st), Gavrylenko (64th), Siradze (83rd) and Cheptine (79th).

“We are to play a very important match to decide the winner. The footballers realize how important the match against Dacia is,” the coach of Milsami Iurie Osipenco told a news conference.

In another match of the 30th stage, FC Tiraspol beat Saxan 3-1. The newly promoted Saxan could close the championship on the fifth place. In the last stage, the team from Gagauzia needs a draw on the field of Academia in order to outstrip Zimbru, which finished the competition already.
