1 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 Englebert were declared champions.
