The Porcupine Warriors are still in Cape Coast as the second phase of their pre-season is still in session with the entire squad and some justify players all taking part.
Asante Kotoko earlier this morning defeated lower-division side Black Emancipation by 2-1 in a training friendly game at the Cape Coast Stadium.
Saaka Dauda found his name on the scoresheet coupled with another from Guinean international Morifing Donzo to seal the win. Black Emancipation’s consolation came from a rebound after having their spot-kick saved brilliantly by goalkeeper Benjamin Twum.
Coach Karim Zito’s men will take on Neat Soccer Academy in another friendly game this dusk at the same venue at exactly 16:00GMT (4:00pm).
The ‘Kum Apem’ lads have three trophies recently having won the FA Cup, defeated arc rivals Hearts of Oak to lift the President Cup and the recent one was against South African side Kaizer Chiefs in Durban to clinch the Toyota Cup.
The team are doing all they could to have themselves adequately prepared for the upcoming Top 4 tourney and also the Champion of Champions’ clash against Bibiani GoldStars and the entire season as a whole.
Asante Kotoko will face Nigerian side Kwara United in the first preliminary round of the 2025/26 CAF Confederation Cup.
