TP Mazembe upset AS FAR 1-0 to win the African Women's Champions League for the first time. The only goal of the contest in El Jadida came in the 10th minute through Marlene Kasaj’s penalty after AS FAR captain Aziza Rabbah was penalised for handball. The side from DR Congo should have doubled their lead six minutes later when an unmarked Merveille Kanjinga fired wide from seven yards out. TP Mazembe boss Lamia Boumehdi was thrown into the air by her players amid the celebrations as the Lubumbashi outfit became the third winners of the African Women's Champions League. The Ravens pick up a cheque for $600,000 (£479,000) after the prize money was increased for the fourth edition of the tournament, while the runners-up receive $400,000 (£319,000).
