AshantiGold defeated Desire Academy 2-0 in a preparatory game on Saturday ahead of their CAF Confederation Cup second leg tie.

A goal in either from Shafiu Mumuni ’20 and Benjamin Eshun ’67 handed the Premier League outfit a comfortable victory against the lower-tier side.

Meanwhile, Ashgold and Akonangui are set to lock horns in an epic return leg fixture after drawing 1-1 in Equatorial Guinea last Saturday.

The match is scheduled for the Len Clay Stadium in Obuasi on Saturday, 24th August 2019.

The Miners just need to avoid defeat or maintain a goalless scoreline at the end of 90 minutes in order to boot out their opponent.
