Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko have departed for Morocco ahead of their crucial CAF Confederation Cup second-leg clash with Wydad Casablanca, determined to overturn a narrow 1-0 deficit from the first leg in Accra.
The Porcupine Warriors face a tough task but remain optimistic about keeping their continental campaign alive. Head coach Karim Zito and his side have been in high spirits, vowing to fight until the final whistle.
Kotoko will need to find their attacking rhythm early if they are to trouble the Moroccan champions, who boast an impressive home record in African competitions.
A victory in Casablanca would see Asante Kotoko advance to the group stage of the Confederation Cup, a major boost for the club’s ambitions to re-establish itself among Africa’s elite.
