Caf Champions League: Kotoko must improve their defense to progress ahead of Kano Pillars

Former Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak coach Abdul Karim Zito has urged the Porcupine Warriors to work on their defending ahead of their Caf Champions League return fixture with Kano Pillars of Nigeria on August 25.

The Kumasi-based outfit has the task of overturning a 3-2 away defeat suffered in the first leg of the preliminary first-round tie.

The winners on aggregate will secure their passage to face Hafia FC of Guinea or Tunisian club Etoile du Sahel in the second round.

“Kotoko did well [in the first leg] but my problem is how they conceded those three goals," Zito, currently the technical director of Ghana Premier League side Dreams FC, told Ashh FM.
