Caf Champions League: Kano Pillars will capitalise on Kotoko's mistakes - Ibrahim Musa

Published on: 15 August 2019

Kano Pillars head coach Ibrahim Musa says his outfit will look to capitalise on Asante Kotoko's mistakes when both teams meet again in the Caf Champions League on August 25 Kumasi.

The Porcupine Warriors suffered a 3-2 defeat to Pillars in the first leg of the preliminary round at the Sani Abacha Stadium.

A win or a draw will see the Nigerian side progress to the next stage of the competition at the Baba Yara Stadium.

"Asante Kotoko is a very good side but our aims can't be defeated because we have two [options] and they are either a win or draw," Musa told Ghanaian radio outfit Nhyira FM.

"But we are not even thinking of a draw.

"We are going to capitalise on the mistakes of Asante Kotoko and we are also working on the strength of Asante Kotoko."

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

In Pillars' last appearance in the Champions League, they were eliminated in the first round following a 2-1 aggregate loss to Smouha of Egypt in 2015.
