Ghana’s Ambassador to Benin, Madam Christine Churcher has commended Asante Kotoko club for defeating RC Kadiogo in CAF champions league on Monday.
The Porcupine Warriors piped their Burkinabe counterparts by a goal in the first leg game which was played in Benin.
Isaac Oppong’s goal against the round of play in the dying embers of the encounter secured the victory for Seydou Zerbo’s side.
“Congratulations. I am more excited than you. For me, until the final whistle goes, you cannot say your team has not won, I believe in that so when the final whistle goes then I give up.” Madam Churcher said.
“But I was sure that even if it remains one or two minutes to final whistle, you will score, I was convinced.”
“You’ve done well. A victory for the country. It is Ghana which has won, not Kotoko. I pray that you will do your homework well when you go home.”
“You played well but let me make this comment, one thing I’ve noticed about soccer is that, those who take advantage of opportunities which come their way are most at times are the winners.”
“I want to encourage you. Sharpen your prowess at goal scoring and make that all the opportunities you get are translated into countable goals. May the Lord go with you. May you be united more than anymore.” She said.
Asante Kotoko are expected to return to Ghana on Tuesday and continue preparations for the second-leg on September 18, at the Baba Yara Stadium.
