Zito vows Kotoko can overturn Wydad deficit in Morocco
Asante Kotoko manager Abdul Karim Zito expressed confidence about reversing a one-goal deficit against Wydad Casablanca when the teams reconvene for the second leg. The Porcupine Warriors lost 1-0 to the Moroccan club in the CAF Confederation Cup second-round playoff at Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday after Joseph Bakasu scored in the second half. Zito acknowledged mistakes affected his team, but he insisted the tie remains open before the return match in Morocco.
The coach referenced his squad’s road victory over Kwara United in Nigeria as evidence that they can succeed in hostile environments. Zito asked supporters to maintain patience ahead of the decisive fixture scheduled for next weekend. The Ghanaian side will attempt to overturn the narrow loss, and the manager believes favorable results remain possible despite the first-leg setback.
