A highly tactical and hard fought 1-0 victory in the final played in El Jadida\u2019s Stade Ben Ahmed El Abdi against former champions and hosts, AS FAR saw the DR Congo side crowned the new champions of Africa for the first time \u2013 wiping away tears of their 2022 group stage exit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the crowd backing the hosts, Mazembe showed great resilience and courage in taking the match to the former champions who remain in search for what has been an elusive second title for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deciding goal of the fourth edition of the tournament came courtesy of a converted spot kick by Marlene Kasaj in the opening 10 minutes, which Mazembe protected throughout the match to seal the historic victory.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the early concession, AS FAR kept believing and surged forward in search of the leveller, but a resolute Mazembe defense kept the clean sheet throughout the opening half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming back from the break, it was surprisingly Mazembe who looked more dangerous as they came out strong in an attempt to kill off the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hosts eventually found their rhythm but again were met by a disciplined Mazembe defense, who kept the former champions at bay to secure Africa\u2019s most sought-after women\u2019s club football crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the coveted CAF Women\u2019s Champions League trophy, TP Mazembe also take home $600 000 in prize money, while runners-up AS FAR take home $400 000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
