League Report Today in history: AshantiGold dump Hearts after penalties in FA Cup
JUN 10, 2016 LISTEN

On 10th June, 2012, Hearts of Oak's hopes of landing the MTN FA Cup to make up for a torrid premiership season crumbled on Sunday following defeat in the quarter-finals at the Len Clay Sports Stadium, Obuasi

Mohammed Yakubu put AshGold in the driving seat, but Attakora Gyimah equalised for Hearts as both side finished the opening 90 minutes 1-1.

In the extra time, Ashanti Gold restored their lead through Bernard Akuffo, before Gyimah once again drew his side even to send the game into penalty shootout.

During penalties, the Phobians missed their fourth kick as Samuel Enzemba saw his kick saved, thus ending any hopes of a silverware that season only to leave coach C.K. Akunnor the task of a major rebuilding.

AshantiGold set a date with Berekum Chelsea and they navigated through to the final, after dumping them from the competition through an extra time goal.

However, New Edubiase piped the Miners by a goal to nil in the grand finale to emerge champions.
