Comfort Yeboah and Jennifer Owusua gave Ampem Darkoa a two-goal cushioning in the 6th and 39th minutes before a controversial penalty, awarded without VAR intervention, leveled the score for AS Casablanca.

In the second half, Comfort Yeboah's goal-line clearance denied AS Casablanca the lead.

Despite a keenly contested extra time, the deadlock persisted, leading to a penalty shootout.
