Kano Pillars showed their mettle in the first-leg of their Caf Champions League preliminary round game against Ghanaian outfit Asante Kotoko to turn around a second-half deficit before claiming a 3-2 win at the Sani Abacha Stadium.
Pillars went ahead in the 13th minute through Paul Hillary, before second-half goals from Justice Blay, in the 48th minute, and Godfred Asiamah, in the 64th minute, threatened to ruin the home side’s day.
However, Victor Dennis and Nyima Nekabari netted for Masu Gida to help them to a victory against their West African neighbours.
