Asante Kotoko face an arduous task of overturning a 1-0 first-leg deficit against Al-Hilal in their bid to qualify for the Champions League group stage. They travel to face the Sudanese giants for the second leg on January 6.
Should they fail in their pursuit, Kotoko will drop to play in the final qualifying stage to the 2020/21 Caf Confederation Cup competition.
