The tie was originally scheduled for Saturday 5th December, 2020, but it was postponed to Sunday 6th December because the visitors who had some players testing positive for COVID-19 challenged the test results and requested for a second one to be done, because they had doubts.
However, the second test confirmed the earlier test, hence the match commissioner after getting all his facts right declared Asante Kotoko winners of the clash.
Hence, they have got a walk over to the first round of the 2020-2021 CAF Champions League.
