<sup>1</sup> At the expiration of extra time in the second leg, the referee decided that lots would be drawn to attribute the trophy on the next day, but the CAF secretary-general later arrived, with Cup regulations requiring that a third match be played. 

The decider was set for December 27, in [[Yaoundé]], [[Cameroon]], but [[Asante Kotoko]] failed to appear (apparently not having been informed of the match arrangements by the Ghanaian FA); as a result, ''[[TP Mazembe|TP Englebert]] were declared champions''.
