President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, has expressed confidence in Karim Zito’s ability to lead Asante Kotoko to victory over Wydad Athletic Club in Morocco.
The Porcupine Warriors suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to the Moroccan giants in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup second preliminary round at the Accra Sports Stadium last Sunday.
Kotoko will face Wydad in the decisive return leg at the Mohammed V Stadium tonight, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 GMT.
Speaking to Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show ahead of the clash, Mr Okraku said he believes Zito has what it takes to overturn the deficit and secure qualification for the group stage.
“All is not lost after the first-leg result, but don’t underestimate what Karim Zito can do,” Okraku remarked.
The aggregate winner will advance to the group stage of the 2025/26 CAF Confederation Cup.
