Kotoko has been banned from the CAF Confederations Cup
Asante Kotoko was eliminated from the Caf Confederation Cup after failing to win a win in Zambia on Zesco United, which instead earned a 2-1 win. The Ghanaians needed all the points to qualify for the next stage of the tournament. competition after missing the opportunity to do the job last weekend by contenting themselves with a 1-1 draw at home against the Sudanese Al Hilal.
Zesco fulfilled its promise to fight and win to honor its supporters, as they did not look like a team that was no longer in the competition, registering 54.35% possession of the ball against 45.65% for Kotoko.
The two teams clashed, mainly in the middle of the field, with Kotoko's efforts to control the procedure being slightly inferior to Zesco's resistance. The success rate of the hosts was 83.35%, while that of the visitors reached 76.65%.

Zesco made a total of 510 pbades while Kotoko had 427, but the home team lost more balls – 128 versus 143 for Kotoko, who also had slightly higher recoveries – 65 out of 60 for Zesco.
The final result reflects certain actions of the day, mainly in front of goal, where Zesco has 19 positive actions in the opposing zone, with a goals ratio of 13%, while Kotoko has 13 and 8% respectively in both categories.
Defensively, Kotoko was not bad, despite worries about an unpredictable U-turn. The visitors won 14 tackles against Zesco 16. The Porcupins made 15 interceptions against 8 for the locals.
The territorial advantage has not been enormously exploited by Zesco on Kotoko. This was 55% for guests and 45% for visitors.
