It looked like Coach Kjetil Zachariassen’s side was really prepared for the game after they returned from the dressing room with accurate football possession and passes making it difficult for Etoile du Sahel to organize their frontliners to make an impact in the game.
The game ended 2-0 in favour of Kumasi Asante Kotoko. Asante Kotoko will travel to the North African country for the return leg encounter in a fortnight time.
