Asante Kotoko head trainer, CK Akonnor left Kenya yesterday satisfied after guiding his side to a 0-0 with Kenya’s Kariobangi Sharks in the first leg of CAF Confederation Cup round-of-32 clash.
Last Saturday, Kotoko played spiritedly, leaving good footprints in Nairobi to enhance their chances of making it to the last 16 in the return leg fixture.
He said after the game “We are satisfied with the result because we didn’t lose. We could have won because we had chances to score. We came here to get a good result, meaning we can be satisfied with a draw or win.”
“I don’t want to be too selfish. This was an away match. We have to go back home, do a bit of homework and find a method to win the second leg.”
He added “We are not going to relax. The target is to qualify for the next stage and we are going to work hard to achieve that.
“The last time they played here, it was a 6-1 win. It’s a team that has known each other for a long time. Tactically, we were disciplined. They played to their strength. What they did today was all they could give because we also made it difficult for them. I know what to do to win in Ghana.”
The Porcupine Warriors will qualify with a win in the second leg in Kumasi while Kariobangi needs a scoring draw or win to advance.
