The first leg was hosted by AS Vita Club at the Stade Tata Raphaël in Kinshasa on 26 October 2014, while the second leg was hosted by ES Sétif at the Stade Mustapha Tchaker in Blida on 1 November 2014.

Rules

The final was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the sides were level on aggregate after the second leg, the away goals rule was applied, and if still level, the tie proceeded directly to a penalty shoot-out (no extra time was played).[1]

Matches

First leg

The opening goal came in the 17th minute when a corner from the right was turned in past his own goalkeeper by Firmin Ndombe Mubele at the near post to give ES Sétif the lead. AS Vita Club got the equalizer in injury time in the first half from a penalty after handball in the box by Mohamed Lagraâ. Chikito Lema Mabidi took the penalty, shooting right footed to the right of the goalkeeper. ES Sétif regained the lead in the 57th minute when Akram Djahnit finished low to the net from close range after taking the ball around the goalkeeper. Mabidi tied the game at 2-2 in the 77th minute with a long range shot from 30 yards with his right foot.[6][7]
