Ghana international Harrison Afful scored the only goal of the African Champions League final to crown Esperance champions.
Esperance won the finals after a 1-0 win over 10-man Wydad Casablanca of Morocco in the second leg of the final after a 0-0 draw in the first leg.
Afful's strike came in the 21st minute of the game after he broke down the right hand side, cut infield and fired a powerful shot past Wydad's young keeper Yassine Bounou.
Esperance will represent Africa at the Club World Cup in Japan which takes place next month and claim prize money of $1.5m as they claimed the continental crown for the first time in 17 years.
