“Hearts of Oak really dominated the game, they played a wonderful game but were unable to score within the 90 minutes. So we were very fortunate to go to penalties shootout and won the game”
Nania FC defeated Asante Kotoko back in 2011 to annex the FA Cup title and are aiming to make a mark this campaign.
Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak will turn their attention to the Ghana Premier League after being booted out of the Cup competition.
