How ironic it is that; a day which God set aside for rest (Sunday), is the day Which would see a game that has been described by fans as “do or die”. A throw-back 10 years ago and we may have had these two squaring off in the CAF African champions league, but there is a popular adage that says “Small is better than none”. It is difficult to find teams better than these two in their respective nation’s of origin.
Asante Kotoko has a swollen trophy cabinet with over 24 league title’s and 9 Ghanaian F.A cups bettered by non. Coton Sports on their part would maybe need to get constructions underway for a new trophy cabinet as 15 first division trophies and over 6 Cameroon cup triumphs may prove heavy for the current one. Coming into the game, confidence should be with the home side as they have won all their two games in CAF competitions this season ; scoring 5 goals and conceding two. Asante Kotoko however have played just a single tie before this encounter. They shared the spoils in a “Naked” 0-0 first leg with Kariobangi Sharks of Kenya, before leapfrogging them 2-1 in Ghana.
One thing is certain on Sunday the 13th. Football fans should brace themselves for attacking venom from the both teams, and there sure would be goals in this one.
