David Duncan’s Ashantigold on Sunday scored six times and conceded once to post a massive win over Sahel SC of Niger in the second leg match of the CAF Champion League first round. The Miners, as the Ghanaians are popularly called, thus qualify on a 6-2 aggregate, having lost by a solitary goal in the first leg. Under the tutelage of David Duncan, former national Under 17 coach, the Obuasi lads shot into the lead as early as the 10th minute when Jonathan Mensah beat goalkeeper Coleman Okedi with a header. The Nigeriens drew level a minute later with a stunner when Ahmadu Sacko beat Fatau Dauda in goal for Ashantigold with a tricky shot. Sacko hit the back of the net again on 29 minutes, but the referee ruled it offside, as the flag had gone up before his strike. Both teams failed to get any real advantage until the end of the first half. Six minutes into the second half, Alex Asamoah restored the lead for Ashantigold when he connected a pass from Mubarak Wakassu. The striker missed another chance to extend the lead of Ashantigold on the hour mark but he shot tamely and directly at goalkeeper Coleman. Ashantigold counted three on 60 minutes when Wakassu beat Coleman from the penalty spot in response to an award from Sierra Leonean referee, Rashid Sanusi. Substitute Sumaila Alhassan tucked home the rebound after keeper Coleman had pushed back a Wakassu shot on 73 minutes to put Ashantigold 4-1 up. With five minutes to the end of regulation time, Nathaniel Quaye made it 5-1 with a great shot and masterminded the sixth, when his shot deflected off a defender into the net on 87 minutes, to seal victory for Ashantigold.
