Asante Kotoko claimed the 2025 Toyota Cup after defeating South African giants Kaizer Chiefs 3-2 on penalties at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday.

The Ghanaian side held their nerve in a tense shootout, with goalkeeper Mohammed Camara emerging as the hero after saving three penalties to seal victory for the Porcupine Warriors following a goalless draw in regulation time.

Kaizer Chiefs, fresh from their pre-season tour of the Netherlands, handed starts to new recruits Thabiso Monyane, Nkanyiso Shinga, and Flavio Da Silva.

The South African club made a bright start, testing Camara with a powerful strike from Glodly Lilepo, which the Guinean shot-stopper did well to parry away.
