True Life FC stun Hearts Of Oak in MTN FA Cup upset
Record holder Hearts of Oak suffered a shock MTN FA Cup exit as Division Two side side True Life snatched a dramatic 1-0 win at the death.
The Phobians dominated long spells of the tie but lacked composure in the final third. As the game stayed goalless, the underdogs from the lower ranks grew in confidence.​
True Life’s moment arrived deep in the second half, when a rare attack was finished clinically to silence the Hearts supporters and send their bench into wild celebrations. Hearts pushed desperately for an equaliser through the six added minutes, but a mix of wasteful finishing and brave defending from True Life ensured the upset was complete.​
At full-time, Hearts of Oak posted: “It is finished. We are out,” capturing the disappointment of fans and players after a day that promised so much but ended in frustration.
The result means the Phobians must regroup quickly, with all focus now shifting to their Ghana Premier League clash against Karela United on December 7, where a strong response will be demanded.
