Nigeria's Wikki Tourists held Asante Kotoko of Ghana to a 2-2 draw in the Confederation Cup on Saturday. The home side had to wait until the 42nd minute before taking the lead through Rabiu Baita in the first leg, second round game in Bauchi.

The Ghanaians drew level six minutes after the interval as Daniel Nii Adjei took advantage of a defensive slip up.

Veteran striker Emmanuel Osei Kuffuor put the visitors in front on 70 minutes with a strike from the edge of the box.
