Asante Kotoko won 1-0 in the first leg of their CAF Champions League tie against RC Kadiogo on Monday evening.
The Ghanaian champions dominated the game and created numerous chances which they wasted before Isaac Oppong scored a late winner.
The brilliant winger found space in the box and slotted home the winner to give Kotoko an important away win.
The victory is also the first for Burkinabe coach Seydou “Krol” Zerbo in charge of Kotoko.
The game was held at General Mathieu Kerekou Stadium in Cotonou, Benin but was not open to fans.
It was initially scheduled to be played in Ouagadougou when CAF ‘change’ shifted the game from Saturday to Monday.
The return leg is scheduled for next week at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi. Thousands of Kotoko fans are expected to attend.
