Asante Kotoko midfielder Kwame Bonsu has expressed delight in the team's "great victory" over Coton Sports de Garoua in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup play-offs.
The Porcupine Warriors beat the Cameroonian champions 3-2 in Yaounde to record an important victory ahead of the second leg in Kumasi on Sunday.
Bonsu, who started in the heart of midfield with Richard Senanu praised fans of the club for their massive support and he describe the win as a great one for the Reds.
"We thank God for this great victory! And also each and everyone of you out there for the massive support! Let’s keep going," he posted on Twitter.
Emmanuel Gyamfi put the visitors in front in the 8th minute by latching onto Abdul Fatawu Safiu's through pass to go one-on-one with the Coton Sport goalkeeper to slot into the middle of the net.
The goal came after Songne Yacouba and Abdul Fatawu Safiu had taken turns to miss from close range.
Maxwell Baakoh doubled the lead in the 30th minute with a cool finish into the left bottom corner after rounding up two markers.
Dauda Kamilo pulled one back for the hosts from the spot after Morrocan referee Samir Guezzaz's controversial penalty call to Maxwell Baakoh's tackle on an opposing player in the penalty box.
Fatawu Safiu restored the two-goal lead in the 50th minute by intercepting a pass from the Coton Sport goalkeeper to curl the ball into the far post before Guema Araina drew a consolation goal for the hosts in the 71st-minute with a half volley.
We thank God for this great victory! And also each and everyone of you out there for the massive support! Let’s keep going ????
