The Porcupine Warriors once again flattered to deceive in the 2022/23 CAF Champions League following a first round shock exit, Sunday.

Kotoko lost 3-1 on penalties to Burkinabe side Rail Club du Kadiogo following a 1-1 aggregate scoreline in regulation time.

The Ghanaian Champions a week ago recorded a slim 1-0 win victory over the Burkinabe side RC Kadiogo in the first leg of the preliminary round of the CAF Champions League.

The Burkinabe Champions took the lead in Kumasi just 15 minutes into the game through Dramane Kambou to seal a memorable win.

Solomon Sarfo-Taylor, Nicholas Osei Bonsu, and Enoch Morrison missed three penalties for Asante Kotoko as Kadiogo went on to win 3-1 to progress to the second preliminary round.
