Final

edit
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.
