Elizabeth Addo, Tabitha Chawinga lift Chinese Women's FA Cup title with Jiangsu Suning

Ghana's Elizabeth Addo and Malawi's Tabitha Chawinga played a vital role in Jiangsu Suning's 5-1 Chinese Women's FA Cup final triumph over Shanghai.

Having crushed Wuhan 10-2 on aggregate in the semi-finals to advance, Jiangsu forced a 1-1 first-leg draw at Shanghai before the second leg's big win at home on Sunday.

Chawinga scored a brace with Ni Meng, Tang Jiali and Wu Chengshu also on target to seal their second title of the season against Shanghai, who missed the services of Nigeria's Francisca Ordega.

In May, the African duo had helped the team to retain the Chinese Women's Football Championship title after a 3-0 win over Dalian Quanjian.
