Legend: Blue = home team win; Yellow = draw; Red = away team win.
Notes:

1. The eighteenth-round game between Chiriquí-Eurokickers was eliminated due both to its irrelevance in the standings as both teams were already safe from relegation and had no chances of qualifying to the final round, and also to eliminate the expenses of traveling to Chiriquí.^[1]
