Asante Kotoko maintained their perfect start to the 2025/26 CAF Confederation Cup campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over Kwara United in Abeokuta on Sunday afternoon.
The Porcupine Warriors arrived in Nigeria holding a slim 4-3 advantage from the first leg in Accra and needed a composed display to finish the job.
After a tense, goalless first half, forward Hubert Gyau delivered the breakthrough, scoring the decisive goal that secured a 5-3 aggregate triumph.
The result sets up a mouthwatering second-round clash with Moroccan powerhouse Wydad Athletic Club, a tie that will test Karim Zito’s men against one of the continent’s most experienced sides.
For Zito, the win also added another milestone to his coaching record. The former Dreams FC boss has now gone eight matches unbeaten away from home in the CAF Confederation Cup, an impressive streak that underscores his team’s resilience on the road.
