Asante Kotoko needed a late penalty converted by Yakubu Mohammed after Saddick Adams, Baba Mahama and Amos Frimpong had missed from the spot kick to hand the Porcupine Warriors a 1-0 advantage.
Polack whose charges were short of ideas against CARA will not put the blame at the door step of his players for misfiring from the spot kick.

"Penalties are like a lottery, the goalkeeper has nothing to lose, it is the player who has more to lose than the goalkeeper and if you look at the Penalties we took, the first one from Saddick was well taken but missed, the second one was poorly taken and third was well saved,’’ Pollack said in the post-match conference.
Meanwhile, reports making rounds say CARA resilience against Kotoko was inspired by juju, since the visitors refused to train on the pitch for the game as required and also urinated in the post at both ends 24 hours before kick off.
But Polack has rejected those claims. He said: ‘’If people want to believe in that[Juju] it is fine, I don’t have a problem with that but I don’t believe in that[Juju].’’
Kotoko will travel away to Congo Brazzaville in a fortnight for the second leg clash.
