Caf Champions League: Coronavirus strikes Asante Kotoko in Omdurman as Al-Hilal clash is cancelled

Asante Kotoko's Caf Champions League first round, second-leg away fixture against Sudanese side Al-Hilal, which was scheduled for Wednesday, has been cancelled over a Covid-19-related issue.

With a group stage ticket to fight for, the two teams were set for a showdown in Omdurman, the first leg in Ghana having ended in a 1-0 win for visiting Hilal.

The game was, however, called off after kick-off was delayed for over 30 minutes, owing to Kotoko's inability to raise enough men for the match after seven players of the Porcupine Warriors tested positive for Covid-19.
