Winger Patrick Razak opened the scoring after 18 minutes with a side-footed strike but was cancelled out by substitute Nathaniel Asamoah to end the regulation time in a 1-1 stalemate.

Goalkeeper Joseph Addo emerged hero of the night as he saved two penalties to steer Yussif Abubakar's side to victory.

Godfred Saka scored the last penalty despite veteran Bernard Don Bortey scoring to hand a glimmer of hope into Hearts' campaign.

Aduana who failed to win the preseason tournament, brought smiles on the faces of fans after beating the Phobians.

Hearts of Oak will now head back to prepare for the season as they also await the appointment of a substantive coach.
