Asante Kotoko coach Maxwell Konadu is confident his side will progress to the next stage of the CAF Champions League.
The Porcupine Warriors were held to a 1-1 draw by Mauritanian side Nouadhibou in their 2020-21 Caf Champions League opener on Sunday.
Osman Ibrahim opened the scoring for the Reds in the first half but Hemeya Tanjy hit back for the hosts in the preliminary round first leg fixture at Stade Cheikha Ould Boidiya.
"A draw is not a bad result but I think that if officiating was good, we could have won the game," coach Konadu said after the game.
"However, a Champions League 1-1 away draw is better than a goalless stalemate.
"We have taken the 1-1 result in good faith, we will go home and work harder to ensure we beat them by at least one or two unanswered goals so we can progress to the next stage," he added.
The two teams will come face to face again on December 6, with the aggregate winners progressing to the next round of the competition where a date with Al Hilal Club of Sudan or Ugandan outfit Vipers awaits.
