AshantiGold looks to hold on to a narrow 3-2 lead with a trip to Morocco’s RS Berkane for the second leg of Caf Confederation Cup qualifying round tie.
The Miners looked to be on course to record a resounding victory in the first leg with two first-half goals from Eric Donkor and Shafiu Mumuni but a lack of concentration allowed Berkane to level the score.
Amos Addai, however, scored to ensure the former Ghanaian champions ended up winning in Obuasi but the two away goals put last year’s finalist in a good position to qualify.
A draw will be good enough for Ashgold to progress to the play-off round of the competition while Berkane need a win.
