Asante Kotoko put three past Black Meteors in friendly game

“We are going to have some foreign players in the team. This game has given me a fair idea about the team and the players we can work on. Because we only have nine days to prepare for the game. With the foreign and the local players I think we can build a good team” he said

He also added that they might play another friendly before their game against Togo.

“I think by two or three days I will have some of the foreign base players who are already here. And then others will join few days before the game. If I have those who are here and I think we need friendly games definitely we have to play all friendly game before the Togo game”

The Black Meteors will play the first leg at the Baba Yara stadium on the 18th of December 2018 and will play the second in Togo four days later.
