The African duo played a crucial role in their side’s triumph over last season’s league winners to claim a fourth diadem on Sunday
Elizabeth Addo and Tabitha Chawinga were in fine form as Jiangsu Suning defeated Dalian Quanjian 2-0 in a Chinese Women’s Super Cup encounter on Sunday.
The 2018 CWSL champions Dalian had defeated Chawinga’s Jiangsu Suning 1-0 to clinch the Super Cup last year, but Sunday’s win at Wuhan Stadium saw Jiangsu pay them back in their own coin.
Going into the match, Jiangsu had won a treble this season, which includes a Chinese Women’s Super League title for the first time since 2009 and third overall.
After a goalless first half, Tang Jiali scored the opener from the penalty spot in the 64th minute before Chawinga won another penalty which Wan Ruyi scored six minutes from full-time to seal the win.
