Adjei's goal in the opening minutes settled the tie and handed Mazembe their 16th title.
A win for any could have secured the title, however, even a draw would have been enough to hand Mazembe the title as they enjoyed a superior goal difference.
Adjei dedicated the title and goal to victims of last Wednesday’s accident.
