Daniel Afriyie Barnieh's 60th minute strike secured a 2-1 win for Hearts after Caleb Amankwah cancelled out Emmanuel Avornyo's early lead as the Phobians secured their 12 FA Cup trophy.

Baidoo was an unused substitute as his teammate Richmond Ayi played a key role in helping to retain the title they won last season.

Unfortunately, the celebrations will not last. Hearts of Oak equalised through Caleb Amankwa whose goal cancelled out the earlier strike from Emmanuel Avornyo.

Back from recess, birthday boy Daniel Afriyie Barnieh made it 2-1 on the hour mark.

Six minutes later, Bechem United star man Augustine Okrah received a red card after an attack on a linesman, forcing the team to finish the match with 10 men.

In the end, Hearts of Oak did well to manage time to secure a 2-1 win in the final to retain the MTN FA Cup title.
