Ghanaian Champions, Aduana Stars have been eliminated from the CAF Confederation cup after suffering a 2-0 to Asec Mimosas of Cote d’Ivoire.
Zao Gbagnon Badie converted a 24th minute penalty before Willy Ta Bi’s brilliant finish ten minutes later, put the Ivorians in firm control of the match before the break.
After the break, Kenichi Yatsuhashi’s efforts were not enough to claw them back in the game as they succumbed to their 3rd defeat out of the five matches they have played so far.
The game was Aduana’s last home game in the competition, with Raja Casablanca to come in a fortnight.
