The draw for quarter-finals of the African Cup Winners' Cup has taken place at the Caf headquarters in Cairo.
Ghana has been given a chance to extract some measure of revenge from Rwanda after their African Nations Cup humiliation.
The national teams of the two countries met in Kigali last Sunday with Rwanda pulling off an upset 1-0 win to qualify for the Nations Cup finals for the first time at the expense of four-times winners Ghana.
And the pairing of Asante Kotoko against the Rwandese army team APR FC in the quarter-finals of the Cup Winners' Cup, brought the biggest reaction at the draw ceremony.
