Ghanaians hail Kotoko players, coach after Zesco victory

Asante Kotoko's Wednesday victory over Zesco United of Zambia was greeted with excitement in many Ghanaian circles.

Following a defeat on matchday one of the group stage, the Porcupine Warriors bounced back with a 2-1 home triumph at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.

Kwame Bonsu and Emmanuel Gyamfi scored to send their side level on points with the other three teams in Group C.

The visitors' consolation, interestingly, came from their Ghanaian recruit Rahim Osumanu in the second half after danger man Jackson Were saw his first-half penalty saved by Kotoko's outstanding goalkeeper Felix Annan.

Below, Goal samples some social media reactions to the game:

I wont be surprised if Kotoko go all the way to win this competition.. We no dey play league for Ghana buh how these guys dey deliver dey over me.

I was in the stands to watch my former club @AsanteKotoko_SC against Zesco United in the Caf Confederation Cup.

The 2-1 win was good????

Kotoko may not be having household names like in the past but they have a strong team and an ambitious coach.

They can qualify from the group. pic.twitter.com/APEdww9DdU

Congrats guys... Getting our first 3 points in the Group is massive encouragement.

Nkana is our next opponent in the group. A must pass test for Asante Kotoko.

The smallest component in the Kotoko team is the biggest tool they have.

FELIX ANNAN.

No words.

Felix Annan is a real asset for Kotoko. Easily the best Ghanaian goalkeeper out there at the moment...#TotalCAFCC
