The two winners of this intermediate round and the winner of the preliminary round qualify for the semi-finals.
In the first semi-final, the winner of the preliminary round meets the winner from the game between the second and fifth place. The loser of this game must play in a second semi-final against the winner from the game between the third and fourth placed.
