Ex-Asante Kotoko midfielder Yusif Chibsah has revealed businessman Kwame Osei ‘Despite’ promised to reward the team with a house each if they had won the 2004 CAF Confederation Cup.
But the Porcupine Warriors burned on the cusp of lifting the trophy on their home ground via penalties.
The first leg ended 1-1 at the Accra Sports Stadium and Kotoko held the aces to pull the victory rug from under the feet of their perennial rivals.
But after another 1-1 draw in the return clash at the Baba Yara Stadium, the Phobians won the inaugural edition of the competition 8-7 on penalties.
Reliving the moment on GTV Sports Plus on Sunday, Chibsah revealed he and his teammates
‘Do you know what we missed for failing to win the cup? Despite promised each player a house and a 10 million (GHS 1,000) each,” Chibsah said on the Time With Our Captains Show.
”Looking back at the game we should have buried the game in the first half
Chibsah was joined on the panel by former teammate Charles Taylor.
Hearts of Oak were represented by trio Bernard Don Bortey, Lawrence Adjah Tetteh and Amankwa Mireku.
