Kotoko face Chiefs

Kumasi Asante Kotoko will play Kaizer Chiefs of South Africa in the finals of the VODACOM soccer tournament in Durban tomorrow.

Accra Hearts of Oak who lost 0-2 to Kaizer Chiefs in their semi-final game will play Sundowns for the Third Place position.

In an interview, Kwabena Yeboah who is in South Africa says Kaizer Chiefs supporters are of the view that Kotoko has no chance of winning the tournament. According to Kwabena Yeboah, Hearts of Oaks loss to Kaizer Chiefs in the first match may be attributed to the altitude as well as a break down in tactical discipline on the side of the team. The tournament is being organised to raise funds for victims of the Ellis Park and the Accra Sports Stadium disasters, which claimed a total of One Hundred and Sixty Nine lives.
