Asante Kotoko head coach Karim Zito remains confident of his team’s chances in the CAF Confederation Cup despite a home defeat to Wydad Athletic Club (WAC) in the first leg of their playoff tie at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Kotoko, who ended the game with 10-men, lost 0-1 to the North African side as their chances of progressing looks very minimal.
Speaking after the match, the experienced tactician admitted that his side made errors but insisted that the battle is far from over.
“Anything can happen in football. There were mistakes, but we are not going there as losers. We are going there to play better than we did here,” Zito said.
Kotoko will now travel to Casablanca for the decisive second leg on Saturday, October 25, 2025, where they must overturn the deficit to secure qualification to the group stage.
Despite the setback, Zito expressed belief in his players’ resilience and determination, stressing that the team has learned valuable lessons from the first encounter.
