This victory marks Kotoko’s fourth Champion of Champions crown, boosting their morale ahead of the CAF Confederation Cup. For GoldStars, the defeat highlights the challenge ahead in the CAF Champions League.

The win sends a strong statement of intent for Kotoko ahead of the new Ghana Premier League season.
