The Charles Ayiekoh coached side came into the contest after losing their semi final duel 1-0 to Mamelodi Sundowns.

Simba’s most clear chances fell to their captain Opa Clement Tukumbuke and Asha Djafari who failed to hit target.
It was Sunday Juliet who scored the lone goal that won it for the Nigerians from Mercy Itimi’s cross in 70th minute.
Their goalkeeper Bawou Gabrielle was also named the Woman of the match following her outstanding exploits.
