The second leg of the CAF Confederations Cup will come off on Sunday 20th of January at the Baba Yara stadium in Kumasi.
Asante Kotoko coach CK Akonnor ‘proud’ of his players after crucial win
“The players proved against Coton Sport that they have what it takes to achieve success. But the tie is not over so our next target is to complete a double over them and this demands sacrifice,” Akunnor said.
“We’ve done one part of the job here and need to finish them in Kumasi next weekend. I’ve advised the players to celebrate the win now because we have a lot of work to do in Ghana.
“We have to guide against complacency because once we were able to win in front of their fans, anything is possible in Kumasi.
“Coton Sport is a great side and the fact that we came and won doesn’t mean they will allow us to have it easy in the return leg. The win didn’t come easy and a section of the supporters have been complaining about how we play but I believe they can smile a little now,” he added.
