Ugandan international Yunus Sentamu added a second for Vita ten minutes after the restart and there was no coming back for Sfaxien, who became the first club in the history of the competition to have failed to turn around a 2-1 defeat from the away leg in the semi-final.
The defeat also saw a parting of ways between the club and coach Philippe Troussier. Algerian club ES Setif went into their return leg in Lubumbashi against TP Mazembe as the only unbeaten club in the competition and although they gave up that record, their 3-2 defeat was one they took on board as it was still enough to see them into the final.
Abdelmalek Ziaya, who already scored for Setif in their 2-1 first-leg win, opened the scoring for the Algerians early on. Mazembe then turned things around as Daniel Adjei Nii, Salif Coulibaly and Jonathan Bolingi gave them a 3-1 lead, which would have been enough.
