At the end of extra time of the second leg, the referee decided that lots would be drawn to attribute the trophy on the next day. Meanwhile, the CAF secretary general arrived with regulations that the match be replayed. The replay was set for December 27th, in Yaoundé, Cameroon, but Asante Kotoko did not show (apparently not having been informed of the replay arrangements by the Ghanaian FA) and TP Englebert were declared winners.
