Division Two outfit True Life FC delivered one of the early shocks of this year’s MTN FA Cup, eliminating giants Hearts of Oak with a 1-0 victory in the Round of 64 on Wednesday.
The tie, played at the Kpobiman Training Centre, swung the way of the visitors after the break when Arhin finished off a neat attacking move, latching onto Robert Nartey’s clever assist to fire home the winning goal.
Hearts of Oak enjoyed large spells of possession but found True Life’s well-drilled defence difficult to break down.
In a bid to rescue the contest, the Phobians introduced attacking options Hamza Issah, George Paa Ku, Hussein Mohammed and Amankwah Baafi, but the lower-tier side refused to crack.
True Life FC defended resolutely, absorbed the late pressure, and made their single major chance count, condemning Hearts to another frustrating early exit from the competition.
In other results, Attram De Visser edged Vision FC to progress, while Ghana Premier League champions Bibiani GoldStars earned a narrow 1-0 win over Basake Holy Stars.
Asanka FC also recorded a 1-0 victory against Great Ambition, and Myersterious Dwarfs claimed a similar scoreline over Police Nations.
