Attacking Midfielder Lucky Emanor leveled terms for Heartland in the 15th minute to the Naze Millionaires back in the game.
Both teams continued with more fireworks but it was the Dare Lions of Omoku that coordinated better and their efforts paid off in the 22nd minutes with a vital strike from Nelson Esor for goal number two which eventually made the difference.
Go-Round, who finished as runners up in the Southern Conference during regular season behind Heartland, had earlier defeated Kwara United of Ilorin 4-2 via penalties after barren 90 minutes of action to state their resolve of lifting the Most Important League trophy known.
Katsina United were last season’s champions in the Super four held at the Pantami International Stadium,Gombe and the only team that survived relegation last season.
