Caf Champions League: Former Asante Kotoko coach Akonnor tips club to oust Kano Pillars

Former Asante Kotoko coach Charles 'CK' Akonnor has backed the club to beat Kano Pillars of Nigeria on Sunday to book a place in the second round of qualification for the Caf Champions League.

The two sides are set for the second leg of the first-round qualifier in Kumasi, two weeks after the Ghanaians narrowly lost 3-2 in the first leg.

“I think they [Kotoko] did well in the first leg," Akonnor, who was replaced by Kjetil Zachariassen as Kotoko coach in July, told Joy Sports.

"[With] two [away] goals, I think they have everything in their hands to qualify to the next level.
