Both sides were unable to be separated after regular time in a high-octane final, which saw both teams come close on a number of ocassions.
But it was Academy who would have the last laugh as they narrowly edged Legon All-Stars on penalty shootout to clinch the first edition of the Bazaki Football tournament.
