CAF CL: Kjetil Zachariassen names strong Kotoko line up to face Etoile; Anan in post as George Abege lead the lines

Published on: 29 September 2019

Head coach for Asante Kotoko, Kjetil Zachariassen has named a strong starting lineup to face Etoile du Sahel in the second leg of the final round of the qualifiers to the group stage of the 2019/2020 CAF Champions League.

The two top clubs are hoping to secure qualification to the ‘money zone’ of the top-tier inter-club competition but need to record different results from today’s match to make that dream a reality.

Kotoko already leads on aggregate after beating Etoile 2-0 in the first leg which was played at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium a couple of weeks ago.

The Tunisian side needs to score 3 and avoid conceding to overturn the result from the first leg if they are to qualify for the group stage.

Ahead of the crucial game this afternoon, Kjetil Zachariassen is sticking to his trusted guns and has named Felix Anan in post. Justice Blay is expected to sit in midfield whiles the attacking force is made up of Augustine Okrah, Emmanuel Gyamfi, Richard Arthur, and George Abege.

The match will kick off at 16:00GMT.
