The Porcupine Warriors defeated Coton Sport 2-1 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday.
Amos Frimpong’s first half penalty goal and Maxwell Barko’s brilliant strike were enough to hand the Kumasi based-side to reach the money zone - the first time since 2007.
The visitors grabbed a consolation goal through Oumarou Sali after he capitalized on a loosed marking inside the Kotoko penalty box to strike into the bottom corner of the left post
The victory sees Kotoko advance to the group stage on a 5-3 aggregate score line.
