Aduana Stars fell to a painful 1-0 defeat in the hands of Asec Mimosa in the 2018 Caf Confederation Cup Group A opener at the Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Abidjan on Sunday.

Former Kotoko striker Ahmed Simba Toure scored in the 39th minute to condemn the Ogya boys to their first defeat of the campaign.

The defending Ghana Premier League champions will take solace from the fact that it was their debut on the big stage and perhaps draw a lot of positives from their second half performance.

The Dormaa based side will now return to Ghana to play some of their outstanding games in the domestic league.
