No surprise here. Kuo-tai Life beat Yadong 2-0 in the best-of-three final series to win its 12th straight A-League women's title. Chunghwa Telecom came back from a 0-1 deficit and defeated Taiwan Power 2-1 in the third-place series.
Yadong, definitely this year's Cinderella team, goes to the finals for the first time in seven years. The second place finish is also its best in years.
