Angry Kumasi Asante Kotoko fans have described the club as bogus following their elimination from the CAF Champions League.
The Ghana Premier League champions’ hope of playing in the group phase of the competition came to an end after losing 3-1 in a penalty shootout against RC Kadiogo in the return leg at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Having taken the lead against Kadiogo in the first leg in Benin with Isaac Oppong scoring the only goal of the game, Kotoko lost the match 1-0, tying the aggregate score at 1-1, but three misses in the shootout sealed their fate.
Kotoko were overwhelming favorites heading into the second leg after winning the first leg away from home last Monday.
But Kadiogo silenced Baba Yara Stadium as they scored in the 11th minute to take the lead and level the aggregate score.
The Porcupine Warriors threw everything at Kadiogo in search of a goal that would have seen them through, but the Burkinabes held firm, forcing a penalty shootout.
RC Kadiogo converted three of their four penalties, while Kotoko only scored one, as the Burkinabe club advanced to the second round.
Kotoko are yet to play in the group stages since 2006.
Speaking after the game, the irate fans call for the dismissal of Nana Yaw Amponsah and described the side as a bogus club.
