Kotoko suffered a painful elimination from the CAF Confederations Cup after losing 7-6 on penalties to Congolese side CARA Brazzaville.
Kotoko started the game well and pushed forward to get a much-needed away goal, however CARA goalkeeper Chancel Massa stood to his grounds to deny the reds on several occasions.
Striker Franchel Ibara got the breakthrough for the home side when he had his shot take a wicked deflection to put CARA into the lead.
Kotoko however came close in grabbing the equalizer but for the fine saves from the CARA goalkeeper.
The game had to travel to penalty shootouts after regulation time.
CARA Goalkeeper Chancel Massa who had been outstanding in the game scored the winning penalty for the host to ensure Kotoko got eliminated from the CAF Confederations Cup. The Porcupine Warriors thus losses 7-6 on penalties after misses from Obed Owusu, Kwame Boahene and Jackson Owusu

When you have a team, who's players are unable to score from the penalty spot in a match, How are you expecting to progress in that competition. Coaches of our clubs only coach the players only how to play and not to score. Our strikers are not able to score even fifteen goals in a season after thirty rounds of matches.How will such strikers help you in a competitions such as the confederations cup? We don't have competing players on our local scene. The players are just playing for playing seek. Nothing motivate them.Managers of our clubs also sits aloof only for them to come up with all kinds of promises when a major competitions comes.Managers should know that promises alone do not win competitions. ASANTE KOTOKO PAAAAA NIE?
they had d chance to get a good advantage at home but messed it up. they have to come for lessons from Phobia if they really want to do well in africa. phobia d best!
Do people still follow or talk about Ghana SOCCER? It is a waste of time and resources to do that! When other countries and regions are making million of dollars from SOCCER, look at Ghana?
To be very honest, what is happening to our great club of late is heartbreaking. This is not the Fabulous Club of the past. I could not eat after we failed to convert three penalties at home. Even after holding them away you could not win on "firing squad" Kotoko need a major overhaul to transform the current squad into a winsome team. I wish to the educate Wofa Yaw that, it was Great Olympics Coach Jones Attuquyefio and Harry Zakour who assisted Hearts to win laurels since their formation 11-11-1911. After they left Hearts, what can they boast of? Better ***barred word***.
PHOBIA THE BEST. KOTOKO NO WHERE NEARLER TO THE PHOBIANS WHEN IT COMES TO AFRICAN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. HOW CAN U MISSED THREE GREAT PENALTIES @ HOME AND U STILL HOPE TO QUALIFY TO THE NEXT STAGE OF THE COMPETITION? RESPECT THE PHOBIANS AND LEARN FROM THE ONE TIME, THE BEST 8th CLUB IN THE WHOLE WORLD.PHOOOOOBIA THE BEST. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME KOTOKO.
