Asante Kotoko head coach Abdul Karim Zito says his decision not to attack heavily against Kaizer Chiefs was purely tactical and based on the reality of his team's situation.

Kotoko clinched the 2025 Toyota Cup on penalties after a goalless draw in regulation time.

Many fans expected a more offensive approach from the Porcupine Warriors, but Zito explained he opted for a cautious plan. "With the new players, I was not going to get exactly what I wanted.

So I assigned them responsibilities and expected them to deliver within their limits," he explained.
