Asante Kotoko coach Kjetil Zachariassen has apologised for his team's elimination from the Caf Confederation Cup on Sunday.
The Ghanaians' hopes of making the group stage of the championship for a second straight year was dashed by a 2-0 away loss to Ivorian side San Pedro.
The play-off round second leg fixture saw the home side progress to the group stage on a 2-1 aggregate following a 1-0 loss in Kumasi.
“Let me say we are very sorry for the loss," Zachariassen said, as reported by Footballghana.
“Two set-piece goals against us and it is what we have been training on because we know they are strong in the air.
