Asante Kotoko suffered their third consecutive defeat in their pre-season tour of Sudan, as Simba SC beat the Ghanaian champions 4-2.
The Porcupine Warriors took the lead through new striker Steven Mukwala, but the Tanzanian giants recovered to score four goals and claim an impressive victory on Sunday at the Al Hilal Stadium in Omdurman.
Stephen Amankona scored Kotoko’s second goal from the penalty spot.
The loss on Sunday came after a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Al Hilal on Friday. Earlier in the week, the Sudanese champions defeated Kotoko 2-0.
Kotoko have been extremely disappointing in Sudan, leaving fans concerned ahead of the new season, which begins in two weeks.

Kotoko’s new coach Seydou Zerbo has had a difficult start, losing all three games, but he remains confident that his team will be ready for the new season.
Kotoko will begin the season in Ivory Coast on the second weekend of September when they face Burkinabe champions RC Kadiogo in the first leg of the CAF Champions League preliminary round.
