ko

Kumasi Asante Kotoko beat Real 24 Hours of Tumu to advanced to the round of 16 stage of the MTN FA Cup on Saturday.

Kotoko who were reported to have been dissatisfied with the nature of the pitch at Tumu put up a good showing during the game as a brace from striker Obed Owusu gave the Porcupine Warriors the needed win to advance to the next stage of the competition.

The former Berekum Chelsea striker put Kotoko ahead in the first half with a decent strike before sealing progression in the dying embers of the game.

The game ended Real 24 Hours 0-2 Kotoko.

Hearts of Oak Crush Out in the MTN FA Cup

Accra Hearts of Oak suffered a shocking defeat in the hands of Samartex FC in the ongoing MTN FA Cup round of 32. The Phobians succumbed to a 4-3 penalty shoot-out against second-tier side Samartex FC in Samreboi on Saturday.

The Phobians arrived in the Western Regional town amidst cheerful welcome and excitement from fans in the hinterland but Kenichi Yatsuhashi’s boys failed to respond to the expectations of fans with a win.

Samartex managed to hold Hearts’ attack anytime they tilted forward and also created some worrying moments for the travellers.

Seidu Mutawaliku, who stopped the first kick of the penalties for Hearts, was called to duty a number times but Hearts wasted glorious chances with Dauda.

After both sides failed to win before the regulation time petered out, the tie had to be broken from the spot kicks.

And, Mutawaliku saving the first shot of the evening from midfielder Forson, the hosts crawled back to nick a 4-3 victory after Michael Addo following Paul Acquah’s miss.

Samartex have reached the round of 16.
