Hearts of Oak travelled to Benin

Ghanaian giants Hearts of Oak travelled to Benin for the second-leg of their Confederation Cup clash with AS Police on Thursday despite reports the trip being aborted because of lack of finance.

The local media had reported that the Phobians were unable to raise funds to embark on the bus trip to Cotonou, the capital of Benin.

But the delegation left the club's offices in Accra on Thursday muting concerns that they are huge financial problems at the club.
