We have better chance of qualifying than Kotoko - Yahaya Mohammed

Published on: 12 February 2018

Aduana Stars striker, Yahaya Mohammed has disclosed that his outfit has a better of progressing to the next of the CAF interclub competition than Asante Kotoko.

The Fire Boys were thumped by 1:0 by Al Tahhady in Egypt on Sunday in the first league of the CAF Champions League in the preliminary round of the competition.

Asante Kotoko, however, defeated CARA 1:0 after failing to back in three penalties on Sunday at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in the first league of the preliminary round of the CAF Confederations Cup campaign.

Despite losing against Al Tahaddy, Yahaya Mohammed says losing by a slim margin away gives them the edge over their opponents in the return encounter at Dormaa as against Asante Kotoko, who will travel to Congo with a slender lead.

"Aduana Stars have a better chance of progressing to the next stage than Kumasi Asante Kotoko," Mohammed stated on Zylofon FM.

"It's difficult for Kotoko to sit at home and win 1-0. This is my first time in my career that I have seen five penalties in a game, it funny"

"Kotoko needs to work extra hard if they really need to qualify to the next stage," he concluded.

The return encounter of both games will come off in fortnight time.
