Defending champions Latilpur City FC and Dhangadhi FC will meet in the first qualifier of Nepal Super League (NSL). The finals were held between those two teams last season. This equation was prepared after Dhangadhi beat Jhapa 1-0 in Monday's match.
With this win, Dhangadhi has 11 points. Based on the goal difference, the team has risen to the top. Lalitpur also has the same 11 points. The team is second. Even with results similar to the rest of the league stage, others will not be able to overtake them in the top two spots. Dhangadhi's victory was made possible by an own goal. This goal was in the name of Dipesh Dhimal. With the loss, Jhapa was limited to 4 points and the team's playoff chances have become weak.
