Head coach of Hearts of Oak, Frank Nuttall has applauded his players for their victory over their sworn rivals Asante Kotoko in the FA Cup semi-final tie on Wednesday.
The Phobains won the match with a 4-2 penalty shootout win against the Fabulous boys after a 0-0 stalemate to progress to the final at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
Nuttal couldn't hide his joy and says they deserved the win.
“It's another well-fought game by both sides especially when you consider it being a preseason game and both sets of players really worked very hard for the club and that is the right intensity we're looking for in preseason.
“I felt that we could have scored in the first half and the second half but we really have to take our clear chances, so we need to work on taking our chances.
“It was a good performance from the players and the idea of it being a friendly was out of the window especially when you are playing but I thought my players were mentally strong.”
Hearts will face either Dreams FC or Medeama SC depending on the outcome of the second semi-final on Thursday.
