Asante Kotoko are likely to lodge a complaint with Caf after their players were subjected to racial chants from the home fans in Sunday's Champions League qualifier against Ittihad Khemisset.

Kotoko were kicked out on the away goal rule after a 2-0 defeat wiped their 3-1 first leg win three weeks ago in Sekondi.

The two-time African champions were bitter with officiating and also the noises from the stands calling their players monkeys.

Disgruntled head coach Isaac Opeele Boateng told Ghanasoccernet:" The referee is the worst I have seen in my life but I think the players were afffected by the noise in the stands."

"They were making noise like that of a money and that is very bad and should be condemned in African football."

"I am not saying this because we lost but this is highly unprofessional and it's not the best for our football, he added.

"In Europe when it happens, it's a big deal but I don't know how this will be handled in Africa."
