Knockout stage
Final
1 The match was interrupted for 18 minutes at 75' with Espérance de Tunis leading 1–0 after teargas was fired into a rioting crowd by police, with one canister landing in the VIP box.Espérance de Tunis protested against the result, but the protest was rejected. It was also marred by the antics of the Espérance de Tunis goalkeeper El Ouer Chokri who deliberately injured himself with the intent to get the game abandoned since Espérance de Tunis had exhausted their substitution. He was banned for one year by CAF for gamesmanship after the game.
