Ghanaian club Asante Kotoko proved too strong for Nigerian outfit Kano Pillars in the Caf Champions League as a 2-0 home win was enough to earn the Porcupine Warriors qualification to the next round of the competition.
An early Matthew Kelvin Andoh strike and an Emmanuel Gyamfi second-half effort ultimately proved decisive in the preliminary round second leg fixture at Kumasi's Baba Yara Sports.
With the first leg ending 3-2 in favour of the Nigerians, Kotoko qualify for the first round on a 4-3 aggregate, earning a chance to face Tunisia's Etoile Sahel in the next phase.
