According to our sources, the Kotoko team which is in Congo to play CARA in the second leg of the CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round game, was for long hours denied access to the training grounds, barely 24 hours before the game.
We are told that supporters of CARA club invaded the pitch and prevented Kotoko from training and had to take the intervention of Ghana’s ambassador to Congo Atta Boafo to avert the situation.
Speaking to Kumasi based radio station Oyerepa FM, Asante Kotoko Legal Chief Yaw Boafo confirmed the attack and said the club has written to CAF to sanction CARA club.
“The club's bus has been attacked and sprayed with dirty liquid substance by rampaging CARA fans. We are very surprised at what is happening here. It's disheartening. We have written to CAF"
Kotoko beat CARA by a lone goal in the first leg played in Kumasi, squandering 3 penalties in the process.
The winner of the two-legged tie will advance to the next stage of the competition.

Officials and fans of CARA FC heckling officials and players of Asante Kotoko. We are unperturbed by these antics and focused on the game tomorrow. The players responded with songs of praise to the Lord and are determined to win. #AKSC #CAFCC pic.twitter.com/VV818ielSs
