Final
[edit | edit source]| Team 1 | Score | Team 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Al-Hilal Saudi Arabia | w/o | Japan Yomiuri |
The final was scratched and Yomiuri were awarded the championship as Al-Hilal were unable to field a team due to nine of their starting players being chosen for the Saudi national team's preparation camp that clashed with the date fixed for the first leg.
