Watch highlights of the game in the video below;

Isaac Oppong produced a brilliant stoppage-time winner against RC Kadiogo in the first leg of the CAF Champions League preliminary round to give Kotoko a rare moment of cheer at after so many wasted chances in the game.

Oppong scored two minutes into stoppage time, weaving his way through the Kadiogo defense to slot home with his left foot to secure a 1-0 win.

The narrow win goes in favour of Asante Kotoko especially as the club will have home advantage for the reverse fixture.

That game is scheduled to be played on Sunday, September 18, 2022.

As already announced by the club, Asante Kotoko will host RC Kadiogo at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

Asante Kotoko are expected to arrive in Ghana on Tuesday. The team will immediately return to training to prepare for the crucial second-leg clash against the Burkinabe opponent.

Coach Seydou Zerbo has named Asante Kotoko’s starting XI for their Caf Champions League preliminary round first leg tie against RC Kadiogo of Burkina Faso in Benin.

Kickoff is 4pm.

The Porcupines would want to record a win over the Burkinabe champions to boost their confidence ahead of the return leg next week in Kumasi.

Several key players are out of the game. Yet Zerbo does have capable men to get the job done. Justice Blay, Franck Mbella, Amankona, Sheriff Mohammed, etc players could not make the squad for this game.

Seven players have been handed debuts in African Club-competition matches.

Goalkeeper Danlad is in posts and will be flanked by Nettry, Sheriff, Mubarik and Tedeku at the back.

Mfegue and Mukwala as well as Isasc Oppong will lead Kotoko’s attack.
